Model content and export

Each object links back to the drawings and the bill of materials. The model exports to a BIM tool in IFC 4.

Model
  • Gantries, equipment, power transformers, reactors, buildings, fence, lightning masts and earth mat or ground grid at design dimensions
  • GIS hall, GIS bays, main buses and SF6/air bushings per gas-insulated yard
  • Single-phase ICT banks with firewalls and a spare unit at 765 kV
Object data and export
  • IFC 4 class, ratings, SLD designation and BOM line per object
  • Object selection linked to the SLD, the yard layout and the BOM
  • Object details on selection: type, IFC class, layer and ratings
  • Layout edits in the model's plan view, shown on the yard sheet before the design run
  • Export to IFC 4 (georeferenced), 3D DXF and glTF
  • 3D section plane, plan view and sun position from the site coordinates
