Acomprehensive building information modeling (BIM)solution for the analysis, design, and documentation of building electrical systems for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities

Bentley Building Electrical Systems
™ supports all phases of the engineering workflow, from conceptualdesign to the detailed design and modeling of electrical subsystems including analysis, documentation, and management, integrating design, visualization, drawing production, and reporting of quantities and costs. Used on large and complex projects around the world, Bentley Building Electrical Systems was specifically developed to support workgroups and distributed teams in a managed environment allowing engineers, architects, and contractors to build as one. BIM enables business-critical benefits over traditional computer-aided drafting (CAD), eliminates waste,significantly reduces errors and omissions, provides greater predictability of costs and performance, allows exploration of more design options, and ultimately results in better buildings. Bentley Building Electrical Systems is partof Bentley’sbuilding information modeling (BIM) solution of integrated design, engineering, and management applications for the entire life cycle of constructed assets.

Design and Modeling of Electrical Subsystems

Streamline the design and modeling process for electrical subsystems, such as lighting, power, fire detection, security, communications, and other building subsystems with comprehensive tools for automated symbol placement, raceway design, cable and circuit routing, schedule generation and more.

Choice of 2D, 3D, or Both

The building information model can be created and manipulated in a traditional 2D plan or an advanced 3D model environment – using the same tools and interface for either.

Step-wise refinement of the design process

Bentley Building Electrical Systems utilizes “stepwise refinement” which allows design professionals to add more detailed information at different stages throughout the project lifecycle.

Integration with analysis

Bi-directional interfaces to a variety of industry-standard power engineering and lighting design analysis programs. These interfaces are localized for maximum benefit to users with country specific codes and standards requirements.

Automated drawing production and coordination

Design and construction deliverables arean output of the design workflow,where, design data is enteredonce and used multiple times. Powerful features, such as automated generation of schematic diagramsand drawing legends facilitate the rapid creation of construction drawings.

Integrated schedules and reporting

Electrical properties can be used to query the information model, make selective or global changes, andto generate accurate schedules and reports, such as cable and device schedules, cost estimates, andpanel schedules, quickly and easily.

Amanaged environment

Bentley Building Electrical Systems can be integrated with Bentley
® ProjectWise
® ,acollaboration server that manages access to project information across a LAN, WAN, VPN, or through the Internet, and publishes and synchronizes shared information, manages change, protects intellectual property rights, and more.
