Integration between Electrical and Plant Modeller
CADMATIC Electrical and CADMATIC Plant Modeller can be used in the same design project, and there are various possibilities for using integrated data.
Note: These integration functions in CADMATIC Electrical can only be used if you also have CADMATIC Plant Modeller installed.
CADMATIC Plant Modeller is a 3D design software package for creating the 3D model and production documents for a whole construction project. This software package contains several applications that can contribute to and utilize the integration of electrical data.
-
In the CADMATIC Plant Modeller application, the Cable Router tool utilizes the 3D model to automatically route cables based on a nodal network created from the cable trays, cable pipes, and penetrations in the 3D model. Once the cables have been routed, the program can make an approximation of the required cable length and calculate the fill rates for the cableways and penetrations, allowing the cabling designers to ensure that the cables will fit to the selected routes. The cable routing tool also makes it possible to create drawings of the cable routes.
-
CADMATIC P&ID allows creating Process & Instrumentation Diagrams, and it is fully integrated with CADMATIC Plant Modeller. The P&ID data and objects can be used as routing assistance in the 3D model.
The integration supports multiple COS versions as follows:
