Engineering / BIM Automation & Integration

Engineering Software Solutions Built Around Your Design Processes

Neilsoft develops and customizes engineering software to automate design workflows, extend CAD/BIM functionality, and connect engineering applications with downstream business systems. We translate engineering rules, calculations, design standards and product logic into software tools that generate models, drawings, schedules, bills of materials and technical documentation.

Our experience spans AEC, manufacturing, process engineering, plant engineering and industrial machinery. From automating Revit-based MEP tasks and AutoCAD design calculations to developing configurable product-design applications, we help engineering teams reduce repetitive work, standardize outputs and accelerate design-to-delivery workflows.

Our Services

BIM Process Automation

Automate repetitive BIM operations, model-data processing and rule-based design tasks within existing BIM workflows.

Our solutions address specific activities such as automated placement of MEP supports, parameter updates, model categorization, schedule generation and data extraction. We develop customized scripts and applications that apply engineering logic consistently across project models and transfer relevant information into downstream deliverables.

Capabilities include:

Revit and Dynamo workflow automation
Automated placement and parameterization of MEP components
Model-data extraction, processing and Excel reporting
Rule-based model classification and schedule updates
Automated workset creation and model-link management
Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) for reusable design rules

Design Automation & CAD Customization

Extend CAD and engineering software with custom commands, design calculations, engineering rules and automated drawing-generation capabilities.

Neilsoft develops application-specific tools that turn established engineering procedures into repeatable workflows. These solutions can automate calculations, generate geometry and detailed drawings, and produce standardized engineering documentation directly from user inputs and predefined design rules.

Capabilities include:

Custom CAD commands, add-ins and user interfaces
Automation of engineering calculations and design rules
Parametric model and drawing generation
Automated fabrication drawings, schedules and documentation
Product-variant design automation
CAD application customization and engineering-software integration

Custom Sales & Engineering Configurators

Convert customer requirements and product-selection parameters into engineered configurations, quotations and production-ready deliverables.

Neilsoft develops rule-driven configurators that capture product logic, component constraints and engineering knowledge. These applications can generate configurable 3D assemblies, drawings, bills of materials, material calculations and technical reports, while connecting product configuration with pricing and downstream enterprise systems.

Capabilities include:

Rule-based product and assembly configuration
Parametric 3D model and automated drawing generation
Product selection and design-rule validation
Automated BOMs, material calculations and technical reports
Quotation and cost-calculation automation
CAD, ERP, PLM and CRM integration

Engineering Automation in Practice

Neilsoft’s project experience includes automating engineering tasks that traditionally require extensive manual modeling, calculations and documentation.

Revit-based BIM automation: Automating duct, pipe and cable-tray support placement, rod-length calculations, model parameter updates and quantity generation.

CAD-based design automation: Extending AutoCAD with engineering calculations and design rules to automate scaffold-system design and drawing generation.

Automated fabrication documentation: Generating precast wall-panel fabrication drawings, panel schedules, dimensions and component bills of materials from design inputs.

Product configuration: Generating configurable airflow-equipment models, sheet-metal patterns, drawings, weight calculations, BOMs and technical reports through a SolidWorks-based application

From Engineering Requirements to Working Software

Our approach combines engineering-domain knowledge with software development to translate established design processes into practical applications.

Workflow analysis: Identify repetitive activities, design rules, calculations, data requirements and integration needs.

Solution development: Build customized scripts, CAD add-ins, configurators and engineering applications around defined workflows.

Validation and integration: Verify design logic and generated outputs, and integrate applications with relevant engineering and enterprise systems.

Deployment and support: Support implementation, documentation, user adoption and subsequent enhancements as requirements evolve.
