Great to see that OBES will now be able to import Hevacomp's Design Database. I think that users will benefit from the advanced CAD modeling tools available in OBES. Assigning and updating all those fabric materials to the model should be a lot quicker.
I am curious about what happens after the Hevacomp model is imported? Will the model still be hot-linked to Hevacomp so that users can still use Hevacomp to run calcs or make/receive changes?
In any case, are there are any plans for transfering Hevacomp's analytical tools to OpenBuildings Designer.
Electrical Designer: Connect
Mechanical Designer: Netsys
Both I think would be useful in OBD as there is currently very little in the way of analytical / schematic design tools in OBD.
