Version 5.07

Release Date: 24.05.2024

SpriCAD for Revit

(N): In the configuration dialog (Settings tab), there is now a setting to ignore vertical branches to sprinklers that are not in the area of influence for calculation purposes. This can lead to significantly faster calculation times in highly meshed networks.

SpriCAD for AutoCAD

(N): SpriCAD for AutoCAD now also supports AutoCAD 2025.
(F): Application stability improved under BricsCAD 2024 (#33666).
(F): Improvement in T-piece assignment.

General

(N): New pump characteristic curves have been added.
(N): The query for network license updates has been improved.

SpriCalc

(F): For exporting pump characteristic curves, the curves can now also have numbers >= 1000.

SpriCAD for AutoCAD/BricsCAD

Version 5.05

Release Date: 12.12.2023

General

(N): There is now only one installation program for German, English, and French, which contains all program packages.
- WinSprink
- AutoCAD
- BricsCAD
- Revit
- External CAD interface
(N): Therefore, there is now only one installation directory (SpriCalc). The WinSprink program is no longer installed in its own directory. Existing files are retained during an update.
New equivalent length tables are stored in the directory C:\Program Data\IDAT GmbH\SpriCalc\505 or C:\Users\#USERNAME#\AppData\Local\IDAT GmbH\SpriCalc\505.
(F): If a Lechler nozzle was used for the most unfavorable sprinkler, the pressure output at the sprinkler on the title block was incorrect. The value in the table, however, was correct (#32871).

SpriVor

(N): When exiting the program, the list of equivalent length tables and pump characteristic curves are automatically updated.

SpriCAD General

(F): For pipes without fittings, it was not checked whether the DN value was present in the selected equivalent length table. This led to a calculation error as the pipe diameter was set to 0.0. This query has been corrected (T-9675).

(F): Formteile direkt am Sprinkler (ohne Rohr dazwischen) werden bei der Anzahl der Formstücke bzw. Sonderlängen nicht berücksichtig. (#32530)
(F): There were problems if a valve had multiple branches without sprinklers. For example, if after the valve a pipe ended at a cap without a sprinkler present. This pipe was marked as a dead end (#32497).
(N): In the list of families, you can display the family of an element that you previously marked in the drawing (#32468).

SpriCAD for AutoCAD/BricsCAD

(V): SpriCAD now issues a warning if the equivalent length table referenced in the drawing is not present (#32553).
(F): We fixed a problem where, under certain circumstances, when importing a drawing from Version 4, sprinklers were incorrectly given a sprinkler supply line (#32604).
(V): Improvements in automatic pipe numbering (#32672).

SpriCAD for Ext. CAD

(F): The Sprink.dat file was saved in UTF-8 format, which led to problems with umlauts. Umlauts are now correctly transferred (#32545).

WinSprink / SpriCalc

(N): Below the table, a legend is now output explaining the abbreviations of the fittings (B=Bend, W=Angle, …).
(V): The output for the most unfavorable sprinkler has been changed. Now pipe, sprinkler, and node number are output. E.g.: R17-4 / S2 / 117 (#32661).

Version 5.03

Release Date: 11.07.2023

General

(F): There were problems with the installation if a user’s name began with the letter “N”. This error has been fixed.

SpriCAD for Revit

(N): In the error list, a double-click takes you directly to the selected element in the drawing. If you delete the element(s) there, you can bring the error list up to date using the “refresh” button so that the order is correct again.
(V): The terms “show elements” and “hide elements” have been changed to “include elements” and “exclude elements”.

WinSprink

(V): In the dialog for entering different sprinklers, the text “Sprinkler” has been replaced by “Sprinkler Types” to clarify that not all sprinklers need to be entered, but only the different sprinkler types.

- No T-pieces assigned
- Always assign T-pieces
- Only assign T-pieces if a pipe is linked in the supply line.
This only applies to IDAT GmbH programs (SpriCAD for AutoCAD, SpriCAD for BricsCAD, and SpriCAD for Revit). For external CAD programs, the option to always assign T-pieces to sprinklers or not still applies.

SpriCAD for Revit

(N): The external program Sprink.exe is no longer required by SpriCAD for Revit.

SpriCAD for External CAD Programs

(V): Covering an area with sprinklers has been improved.
(V): The calculation window remains open and changes can be made in the project simultaneously.
(V): Input hints for Darcy-Weisbach method.
(N): Floor management: Projects with multiple floors can be assigned to floors. These can be visually hidden from each other as needed to ensure clarity, also in views.
(N): Flow directions are displayed as arrows in the model – can be hidden via a separate “Flow Direction” layer.
(N): Flow time calculation possible from a specific valve.
(N): Self-entered fittings on pipes are visually displayed via their own “Fittings” layer – collision check during calculation for inconsistencies with self-defined fittings.
(N): Scale settings possible via annotation scale in properties under the “Miscellaneous” category for fonts and symbols, in BricsCAD “Mixed”, also in viewports.
(N): There is a choice between custom numbers for pipes or automatic numbering.
(N): Project data can also be edited in the properties window.
(N): The menu bar has been extended.

Version 4.31

Release Date: 22.11.2022

WinSprink:

(F): In rare cases, an incorrect most unfavorable sprinkler may be displayed. If the operating point is determined as the initial pressure during network calculation, it is possible that a different sprinkler is determined as the most unfavorable due to small deviations. This will then be shown on the report. Flow rate and pressure are correct, however.

CAD General

(F): If an additional length was entered for a pipe with an accuracy of 1 mm (e.g., 4.333 m), a special component was mistakenly included in the installation list. This is avoided if the special length is entered rounded to 1 cm (e.g., 4.330 m).

SpriCAD for Revit

(N): In the project data dialog, pump characteristic curves are now divided into groups, analogous to the dialog in WinSprink or the program for pre-settings.
(N): If a different scale than the calculated one is entered for the pump characteristic curve graphic, this is saved together with the number of the selected pump in the Revit project.
(N): When changing the language (German/English), you do not need to translate the shared parameters. This saves time in very large projects.
(N): If you change the list of system types, the list of families is automatically adjusted.

General

(F): There was a problem compiling the setup files in version 4.26.

Version 4.26

Release Date: (27.06.2022)

SpriCAD for Revit

(F): If a FlexPipe/hose had a DN-value = 0, the program crashed.

SpriCAD for AutoCAD/BricsCAD

(F): A problem where the flow direction might not have been displayed correctly has been fixed.
(F): When changing the drawing scale, valves and fittings are scaled correctly.

SpriCAD for Revit

(N): To determine the diameter of a pipe, there are now 2 options:
- As before, use the nominal diameter of the pipe, from which the inner diameter is determined from the equivalent length table.
- Search for the entry in the equivalent length table directly using the inner diameter of the pipe. The pipe receives its own (fictional) DN value to determine the correct inner diameter.
(N): Some dialogs have been improved in terms of usability.

Version 4.22

Release Date: 24.03.2022

SpriCAD for Revit

(F): There was an error in the fitting list. Here, elbows were output instead of angles.

(N): In addition to the button to list ALL sprinklers, there is another one that only displays the sprinklers in the area of influence.
(N): In the sprinkler dialog, you can specify a designation for the sprinkler family, which is output in the protocol instead of S1, S2…. Note: Please keep it short, space in the protocol is limited.
(F): In the sprinkler dialog and the pipe dialog, there were problems when the list in the dialog was resorted.
