Micah Davis, owner and chief designer at Dynamic Fire Designs holds Level 4 certification from the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies. The primary software used at Dynamic Fire Designs for design, hydraulic and seismic calculations, and stocklisting of fire sprinkler systems is AutoSPRINK VR. AutoSPRINK VR is developed by MEPCAD and is a parametric based stand alone CAD program that allows for design of the sprinkler system in 3D. This software is especially well suited for projects requiring Building Information Modeling (BIM) as the system is designed in 3D from the beginning and modifications needed to coordinate with other systems can be done instantly with the outcomes being seen in real time. AutoSPRINK also provides almost instantaneous hydraulic and seismic calculations in accordance with national standards. Additionally, because the systems are built in 3D with all required pipes and fittings included in the design, stocklisting is often more accurate than traditional means of item take-off or material estimation procedures. While AutoSPRINK incorporates all necessary functions needed for a successful design (including clash detection for BIM coordinated projects), Dynamic Fire Designs also uses the latest products from Autodesk as necessary to complete designs. For BIM projects, this includes the use of Revit and Navisworks as is often used by the design and construction teams for these projects. Every type of file commonly used by these design and construction teams can be read and produced by Dynamic Fire Designs. This makes the coordination process as seamless as possible.
