With 30 years of experience, Trace Software International has announced that it launched elec calc BIM.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is here to stay, ready to disrupt old ways of doing things within the building industry. Previously, the design process in the construction industry relied on multi-stage issuing of drawings, was characterized by fragmentation and poor collaboration between suppliers and contractors.
Nowadays all the stakeholders have access to the same database as BIM is a digital planning method that creates digital representations of buildings where all the information is shared during the whole project life cycle.
By placing information at the heart of the design project, users are able to identify issues as it promotes interoperability.
Why elec calc BIM is a Game Changer
This is a calculating software that integrates elec calc, the electrical tool used in the calculation and sizing of projects, with different design platforms, enabling the importation of the digital model in IFC4 format generated by any 3D architectural software (Revit, Archicad).
elec calc BIM offers engineers, developers, installers, energy producers and distributors, a tool for sizing electrical installations. Including calculation models that will ensure project development and calculation quality.
Even when all stakeholders contributing to a project are working from the coordinated model, if that model only reflects the design elements of the asset then its value is still limited.
elec calc BIM features the ability to build the one-line diagram from the explorer and also build the one-line diagram from the 3D mock-up. elec calc BIM allows information to be shared by different participants along the different stages of design, construction and operation. From the aspect of cable routing you have the ability for the calculation of cable lengths, and of the added cables as objects in the layout.?elec calc BIM provides a way to access the BIM objects thanks to the partnership with BIM&CO and stay current with this growing requirement of collaborative working.
It’s understandable that model checking has importance for BIM. Model checking is a central element in design projects and by extension in BIM. With elec calc BIM, 3D model updates are available, import a review of IFC and receive a notification of the changes in the installation one-line diagram, Export IFC and BCF.
By gathering and including real field data, the design, construction and management of a project can be based on reality. elec calc BIM ensures the integrity of the project, which allows for precise decision-making and therefore cost reduction and time savings.
With BIM representing the digital revolution in the building industry, elec calc BIM is the electrical design solution aimed to those who do not want to stay behind. Discover all elec calc BIM advantages here or download the trial version.
