liNear is a specialized engineering CAD software suite developed by liNear GmbH for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) design within the construction and building services industry. It provides a highly integrated environment for modeling, calculation, and simulation of technical building systems, functioning as a sophisticated extension within Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. This deep integration allows users to work within familiar interfaces, ensuring a seamless workflow for engineers and designers who are already proficient in Autodesk platforms. The software’s greatest strength lies in its fully BIM-compatible workflow that merges graphical modeling with standard-compliant calculations for heating, cooling, ventilation, potable water, wastewater, and gas systems. By embedding all data and results directly into the BIM model, liNear eliminates the need for external interfaces or manual data transfer, thereby minimizing errors and improving efficiency. Its unique features, such as the Schematic Generator and MepClasses classification system, enhance productivity and ensure uniform, consistent data across large projects. Performance-wise, liNear is capable of handling complex system designs with accuracy and speed, offering reliable results even for large, multidisciplinary projects.
