Function Paneldes is the 3D design module of EDS used for the creation of Electrical Panels and Plant Raceway models. Its main functions, aside from the construction of electrical models and general arrangements, are; cable and wire routing/filling/length calculations, interference analysis and materials reporting. |
||
Typical Users Switch-Gear manufacturers and Construction engineers with electro-mechanical design requirements. e.g.1. Panel Layouts and GAs prior to manufacture e.g.2. Plant raceway / ductbank and cable-tray layout and auto-routing. |
||
Requirements Windows 2000, ME or XP are required. AutoCAD 2000 - 2007 or PowerCAD 6 are required.Typically a PENTIUM 4 @ 3 GHZ with 50 GByte HDD and 1 GByte RAM and CDROM would be acceptable hardware. |

Features : Plant Raceway Layout. Parametric shapes for Areas, Enclosures, Devices, Instruments, Tray / Trench / Conduit / Ductbank, Fittings, Accessories with Automated 3D SNAP. User defined 3D and 2D block options for visual accuracy. Automated model creation / device / instrument insertion from a database of components with their 3D locations. Automated "Ductbank Editor" is a tool to create and edit parallel arrays of conduit in concrete filled trenches. Automated "incremental" tag name defaulting - with user programmable tagnames! Automated selection of components from preliminary one lines and block diagrams AND final circuit diagrams. Database driven component sizing/block selection via Elecdes catalog databases [ODBC]. Automated bill of materials and quantity summary. Component placement cross checks. Automated cable length/fill and route calculation and optimisation. Filling optionally compliant with N.E.C. Override auto-routes by manually specifying an entire route or set "way-points" through which the conductor must pass. Override auto-routes by manually locking routes. User defined levels of cable power segregation and mixing. Project milestone based cable route issues are handled and managed. Design/ routing and installation can be overlapped for fast turnaround projects with the "ROUTED/ISSUED/PULLED" system. This system provides milestone based "partial cable/route/fill schedules" which do not conflict as the installation progresses. Tray and conduit "Snug Fit" system optimises routing linearity and speed by intelligently / statistically optimising raceway intersections. Tag name duplication cross checks. Database driven global editor for changing tags, specs and sizes of multiple components in a single operation. Automated 3D cable route diagram with integral labelling and fill intelligence. "Query" function provides fill and other details about the cable and the raceway segments. Raceway network consistency checker. This highlights potential problems in a raceway network. On Line - Documentation and Movie based tutorials. Long file names. |
