Using the plugins

When you have loaded the menu file you will have 3 additional buttons available:

Plugin to DIMcomfort

Plugin to DIMsilencer

The DIMcomfort plugin contains 2 methods:

- Importing rooms to DIMcomfort using MagiCAD Room module- Import freely using AutoCAD POLYLINE command

If you have MagiCAD Room moduleinstalled you click first on theDIMcomfort button and then in theMagiCAD Room you want to transfer. Inthis case the room geometry as well asairflows for supply and extract air aretransferred.

If you use the MagiCAD Room transfer,the airflows for supply and extract will beread only in DIMcomfort.

Otherwise you can always draft aPolyline to transfer the room boundariesinto DIMcomfort. Press “m” to selectroom boundaries manually, close thePolyline and press Enter, then you willbe asked to enter a room height. Press

Enter again if you have stated the roomheight or use the default height.

NOTE: DIMcomfort allows onlysquare angles, other angles can becalculated, but you can get a warning

that the representation can be wrong.

After your selection DIMcomfort willopen. You can now use DIMcomfort asusual, select and insert diffusers, placethem in your room and visualize throwpattern, air velocity and sound in thecomfort zone.

When you are finished you click on the

room node in the tree view and thenselect the export button to MagiCAD.

DIMcomfort will then exit and a dialog inMagiCAD will pop up prompting you tostate a User Code and select a system.

Now the diffusers will be shown in thesame position, height and rotation as

selected in DIMcomfort.

If you don’t have the MagiCAD Roommodule you must draw the roomsboundaries manually using the AutoCADPolyine function.

DIMsilencer

In DIMsilencer you can select Lindab silencers. DIMsilencer is an advancedsoftware to state requirements, calculate results and compare Lindab silencers witheach other are of great benefit to detect and solve sound problems in your ductdesign. Especially the possibility to use parametrical, will say non-standard sizes,for rectangular silencers and transfer them to MagiCAD are unique.

Push the DIMsilencer button inMagiCAD and select the circular orrectangular duct for which youwant to calculate and insert asilencer.

DIMsilencer will now open and youcan enter the sound values beforethe silencer and the designatedresult after the silencer.

If you ran flow summation inMagiCAD before, the airflow will betransferred as well to calculate thesound generation; otherwise youcan enter these values also

manually.

When you selected a silencer youpress the ”OK”-button. DIMsilencerwill then close and MagiCADdialog asks you to state a UserCode.

In the last step you click on theduct you want to insert your

silencer into. You can even selectlarger or smaller ducts than thesize of the selected silencer.MagiCAD will in this case insertreductions automatically.
