Why Trimble Nova?

Complete BIM solution for building services engineering

Get necessary values directly in Trimble Nova using its integrated calculation modules for all trades. These modules can also be used independently of the CAD software.

Features and calculations in Trimble Nova

Maximize project profitability and minimize errors with accurate, integrated calculations and robust design tools for electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Heating planning

Nova's heating planning enables U-value and heating load calculations from the 3D thermal model, plus automated design and sizing for radiators/underfloor heating.

Independent CAD core

Trimble Nova's autonomous CAD core enables fast and flexible modeling, even when collaborating with other teams along the construction workflow.

Calculation modules

Heating, air conditioning, ventilation and sanitary each have their own calculation modules that you can use independently or in direct interaction with drawings.

Simplified import and export

The IFC interface allows for a seamless OpenBIM workflow via the import and export of models as well as traditional formats such as DWG and DFX.

Tools adapted to each phase of the project

Quickly lay out a generic network via wireframe for design. Switch to prefabrication tools (3D component drawings, manufacturer products) for execution.

Ventilation planning

Calculate air volume, cooling and heating loads precisely. Create schematic single-line and 3D ventilation networks.

Sanitary design

Design and calculate the drinking water and wastewater pipe networks in accordance with current standards. The calculations are powered by technical data from manufacturer catalogs.

Lighting calculation

Trimble Nova includes interfaces to RELUX and DIALux modules. By easily importing and exporting data, you save significant time in lighting planning.

Electrical distribution planning

Software offers a wide range of design options such as terminal blocks, contact mirrors and voltage drops. You can also create your own bus components.

Technical documentation

Produce all the necessary bills of materials and calculation reports easily. The documentation can be presented as PDFs, tables or drawing legends.
