Run Native, Engineering-Grade Pressure Analysis 10x Faster in Revit

Feature overview

Bridge the Gap Between BIM Modeling and Engineering Analysis

Pressure drop analysis is one of the most critical HVAC workflows, yet it is still often disconnected from BIM. Teams export data, rebuild systems in external tools, and lose time in spreadsheet validation loops.

MEPAIA Pressure Drop Calculations removes that gap by running engineering-grade analysis directly inside Revit. This means faster iterations, higher trust in results, and fewer coordination errors during design development.

Automated Detection Built Around Native Revit Content

100% native compatibility with ducts, fittings, accessories, terminals, equipment and custom families.
Automatic route detection for selected paths, branches, full systems and complete AHU networks.
Pre-calculation validation for broken connectivity, missing airflow and incomplete pressure inputs.
Critical-path detection with instant visual highlighting in 2D and 3D views.

Engineering-Grade Physics with Full Transparency

Advanced Friction Equations

Configure calculations with Colebrook, Haaland, or Altshul equations and set duct roughness based on project standards.

Dynamic Air Properties

MEPAIA calculates density, viscosity, Reynolds values, and flow regimes from real operating temperatures to maintain physical accuracy.

Installation-Based Flex Duct Behavior

Account for real installation quality (good, typical, poor), including sagging, bends and added route length for realistic fan sizing and pressure loss behavior.

Structured, Multi-Language Deliverables

Generate detailed reports including project settings, roughness parameters, section-level values and critical path summaries. Reports are available in multiple languages and unit systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about Run Native, Engineering-Grade Pressure Analysis 10x Faster in Revit

No. MEPAIA works directly with native Revit ducts, fittings, accessories, terminals, equipment and custom user-created families. No proprietary libraries are required.

The system automatically analyzes physical connectivity and constructs aerodynamic paths for selected routes, full branches, or complete AHU systems without manual tracing.

You can choose between Colebrook, Haaland and Altshul methods and configure duct material roughness according to project standards.

Every calculated element is tied to its Revit Element ID. Reports include air properties and section-level values so teams can audit each result.

Yes. MEPAIA supports installation-based correction profiles (good, typical, poor) including sagging, bending and extra installed length effects.
