I have downloaded the (GB) AECOsim Connect software as a trial
it came with what looked like a massive set of tutorials with the software, potentially very useful
the first tutorial on generative components suggested there was a US dataset and also a 'neutral metric' NM dataset
when I tried to replicate the tutorial, there was only the US dataset available (annoying)
I then tried a mechanical tutorial on setting up drawings, it all looked very similar to the traditional AECOsim workflow and again I was disappointed to see it was not based on the new software.
I will be removing the software and re-installing the old AECOsim for now
I hope in the future Bentley can put a Metric based version of this software together that contains all the metric measurements for mechanical and electrical design in the future
so far I think its only purpose if as a draughting tool, and not as a BIM tool
Has anyone else tried using (GB) AECOsim Connect for MEP, I downloaded abd100000154en.exe & abd10010036en.exe would update 2 have made a difference?
Hi David,
Thank you for pointing these out.
