Engineering software has become an indispensable asset for MEP engineers, empowering them to take on increasingly complex challenges with confidence and efficiency. The ability to design, simulate, collaborate and analyze with the aid of advanced software tools has revolutionized the way plumbing and mechanical engineers approach their work.
Software is just another tool for engineers to help aid in design, notes John Siegenthaler, PE, principal at Holland Patent, New York-based Appropriate Designs. Siegenthaler, a hydronics expert, uses Hydronics Design Studio for hydronic system design, and for CAD, he uses PowerCADD.
