What is ArCADia-ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS?

ArCADia-ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS is an industry-specific module of the ArCADia BIM system, based on the ideology of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The program can be used to create the professional documentation of internal low-voltage electrical systems. The program is intended for designers of electrical and power equipment systems.

The ArCADia-ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS program enables prompt and efficient preparation of electrical and lighting system drawings, as well as the performance of verifications and the calculations necessary for designing.

FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM:

• NEW: The possibility to generate structural diagrams of power lines for designs of electrical systems. A schematic diagram of the internal power lines between designed switchgears can be easily and quickly generated.
• NEW: A symbol view can be replaced for a specific object. The user’s own symbols for designed objects can be freely created.
• Drawings of internal electrical systems can be quickly produced on architectural plans, starting from locating distribution panels, assigning the proper technical parameters, arranging sockets, lighting and cable outlets to connect power supply sources with appliances using cables and conductors.
• Once an electrical system is designed, the program can be used to calculate short circuit currents and short circuit capacity, load currents (1-f or 3-f) and voltage drops in individual sections of the designed electrical system.
• The program can also be used to generate a balance of power - a professional document describing the installed equipment and devices.
• The program can also be used to generate the bill of materials used in a design.
