Catalog excerpts
Caneco BIM is a software tool allowing electrical data exchange between a BIM project and ALPI’s suite of software. Caneco BIM is used to check and input electrical information in a Building Information Model. Electrical data are then exported onto Caneco BT to define the cross section cables and the protective devices. Finally, Caneco results are reimported to enhance BIM project. Checking and implementing electrical objects in a Building Information Model Check and validate electrical installation designed with Autodesk® Revit® MEP, using Caneco BT Facilitates joint work between the Autodesk® Revit® MEP technology and Caneco BT standards. Forward the 3D numerical model of the electrical installation to contractor working with AutoCAD® software Recognises and translates all Revit object families having electrical connections. Provides specific details of cables routing in cable trays. Managed and optimized cable trays congestion. Allows to define the power requirement mode in either Autodesk® Revit® MEP or Caneco BT. Adjusts cables lengths by adding ratio percentage. Facilitates joint work between the Autodesk® Revit® MEP and AutoCAD® software standards. Facilitates printing reports of cable cards and cutting book. Allows the installer to enhance all the electrical installation details received from the numerical model designer. Updates automatically electrical properties of Revit objects after calculation and sizing onto Caneco BT. Exchange electrical data from the BIM project with other participants Import / Export with Caneco BT. Export to AutoCAD® using Caneco Implantation. Export project data to Excel. Export the entire project to Caneco format. Tree check Visual check Synoptic check Integrity check
