Pipe network design

Pipe network design directly in the floor plan editor

Plan your heating pipe network room by room and floor by floor – from the heat pump to every radiator and the hot water storage tank. autarc suggests pipe diameters and calculates every circuit automatically.

Draw pipes on the floor plan using snapping

Pipe diameters for new pipes suggested automatically

How does pipe network planning work with autarc?

Pipe network planning is a dedicated tab in the floor plan editor that builds directly on your floor plan. You place the heating components, draw the pipe connections, and autarc calculates the pipe network – separated by heating circuit and domestic hot water circuit.

  • Step 1: Place heat pump, hot water storage tank, radiators, and risers
  • Step 2: Draw pipes using snapping – plan new pipes or record existing ones
  • Step 3: Accept suggested diameters, define material, and add valves with Kv values
  • Step 4: Calculate values per circuit and check them in the review tab

Your benefits with pipe network planning

  • Pipe network in minutes: Instead of planning the pipe network by hand or in a separate program, it is created directly on the floor plan you already have in autarc.
  • Fewer planning errors: The automatic check identifies unconnected radiators and open pipe ends before the planning is finalized.
  • 3D without CAD: The exploded view shows the entire system. You can rotate and inspect it in the same tool you use for planning – no CAD software or CAD skills required.
  • Even across multiple floors: Risers connect the floors. This allows you to plan not only single-story projects but also more complex residential buildings.
  • Everything in one tool: From the floor plan to the finished pipe network, you stay within autarc – without switching to other software.
