Automated Fire Sprinkler Design with Tandm Tandm quickly and accurately automates the process of designing fire sprinkler systems. By leveraging...
Following on from the success of our training workshops earlier this year, we will again be hosting training workshops for both HYENA⁺ and CAMEL⁺ across November and December 2024. This training is a great opportunity for newcomers to advance their skills, or for those who are already familiar with the programs to reinforce their understanding...
This month, we’ve introduced a key update to HYENA+ affecting the User Data screen, where designers input custom pipe materials and fittings. Previously, each user had their own unique User Data list, which could lead to issues if custom materials or fittings weren’t synced across all users in a company. In response to customer...
Revit models for large projects can contain vast amounts of information. To streamline your workflow, we are designing CAMEL+Cnect to allow users to selectively import only the information relevant for each heat load model. For example, you will be able to: Select the levels from which you would like to extract information. Choose...
The User Data screen in HYENA+ lets designers input custom pipe materials and fittings. Currently, the User Data list is unique for each user in HYENA+. While this allows each user the freedom to customise their list as they see fit, the drawback is that if you are using custom materials or fittings and...
A key challenge we face with CAMEL+Cnect is the variability in the quality and accuracy of architectural models. We understand that what you want to include for heat load calculations may differ from what the architect has modelled. That’s why we are detecting and pre-filling inputs, whilst giving you the option to review and override...
For those of you who missed our update last month, CAMEL+Cnect for Revit is our upcoming Revit Integration for CAMEL+, allowing you to seamlessly import building orientation, room/space names, floor areas, wall and window types, external wall and window dimensions and positioning, internal partition wall areas, and more, directly from your Revit models into CAMEL+....
We’re thrilled to unveil the official name of our latest innovative product: CAMEL+Cnect for Revit. This powerful integration is designed to streamline your heat load calculation setup process by leveraging the information already contained in your projects’ Revit models. With CAMEL+Cnect for Revit, seamlessly import building orientation, room/space names, floor areas, wall and window...
Have you been using the new Node Diagram feature in HYENA⁺? Located on the Pipes screen, this new tool provides a visual representation of the entered pipe network in the form of a node diagram. We’ve introduced this feature not only to minimise potential errors in pipe network data entry, but also to speed up...
Our CAMEL+ online workshops begin March 6th, but there is still time to register! The courses are provided via webinar on the following dates: CAMEL+ Workshop One: Understanding Heat Loads / Program Walkthrough Wednesday, March 6, 12:30 PM (AEDT) Workshop Two: Additional Features and Practical Applications Wednesday, March 13, 12:30 PM (AEDT) View topics and...
The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial. – M. Cummings
It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team. – Marvin D
Catherine and the team at ACADS provide customer service of the highest standards always offering the best solutions for our business with fast response times. I would highly recommend ACADS-BSG. – Amy
The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design. – Shayne C
Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations. [HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry. – Ahkil M
