General features
A digital collaborative platform
- Caneco BIM performs the exchange of electrical data between Revit®, and the rest of the BIMelec solution
- It enables the import of the positioning and the references of lighting features from Dialux®
Sizing of an electrical installation
- Caneco BIM enriches the digital model with the results of calculations carried out in Caneco BT, such as cable cross-sections, protective devices and short-circuits
- Model and calculate the busbar trunking systems
- It performs automated cable routing inside Revit®
- Calculate cable tray footprint rates
- Size cable trays
Complementary applications
- Additional tools will help you control and validate your electrical installation in your model
- Caneco BIM allows the import of the cable types, as they are described in Caneco BT, directly into Revit®
- It analyses the objects and groups of objects and adds electrical parameters such as voltage, apparent load, load class, etc.
- Create your electrical circuits with advanced tools
Integrated electrical calculation boxes
- Caneco BIM converts electro-technical units
- It also calculates the react power of condenser batteries
Advantages
Multiple data entry operations avoided:
Caneco BIM allows you to work just as well in Revit® as in AutoCAD® thanks to its communication interfaces.
Security and compliance:
Caneco BIM guarantees the compliance of your digital electrical model with the applicable standards, thanks to its interface with Caneco BT.
Optimization of work:
The numerous integrated utilities allow an optimized project.
Time saving:
Caneco BIM allows the easy and rapid enrichment of electrical documentation in a project.
Other features
Support for multiple sources from Revit to Caneco BT.
Integration into Revit of the notion of Normal – Backup for sources and distributions and downstream powered circuits.
Automated creation of a synoptic of high and low currents
Automatically generate synoptics from Revit's electrical systems.
Caneco BIM allows you to obtain different synoptics such as:
- Power synoptic with only distributions
- Power synoptic with all or part of the high current circuits of your project
- Synoptic of your low current installation, fire alarm, computer, etc.
- Customize labels & symbols by replacing them with your own.
Production of new technical documents
Automated creation of a cable book and a cable pull book.
You will find in HTML or CSV format all the characteristics of the cables, such as their length, their path, their refmark and all their crossing points.
These technical documents can be used in your Excel spreadsheets or by using your own CSV file templates to change the format.
By combining the automated routing of the cables and their calculation, you have the possibility to edit a cable path cutting book to know at each section the exact content of the cables that pass through them such as the congestion of the cables, their layout, the circuits present...
Improved pathway cable tray's content
Now view the contents of a cable tray section: the circuits present, their technical data, their congestion.
