ETAP 18 Series Features & Capabilities

Increased Performance & Speed

Library Access Time
This release includes a built-in feature that automatically defrags and compacts ETAP library files to allow for faster library access and speed. This enhancement resolves the slow scan response of the library file by Windows Defender Antivirus program.

Faster Project Load, Save & Backup
Project load and save duration is shortened through enhanced use of files and memory, to speed up performance. Improved project access and backup reliability when connecting over a slow network.

Improved Calculation Speed
The speed of the calculations is improved through the implementation and use of new techniques. The run-time speed is noticeably faster on larger project sizes when performing Load Flow, Motor Starting, Harmonics, Harmonics, Reliability Assessment, Transient Stability and other analysis.

Revit Data Exchange

Simplifies the Design Process - Initial & Incremental Import

Full & incremental Revit model import
Support for RVT v2017 – v2019
Auto-generation of one-line diagram
Smart Connect: Revit-ETAP Plug-in

Information defined in Revit BIM is transferred and updated into ETAP to create an intelligent one-line diagram connectivity model including unlimited sub-systems with populated element properties.

Migrate from SKM to ETAP

Conversion just got easier, faster & more complete!

Are you still using scattered models and inefficient methods to maintain and analyze your critical electrical assets?

The updated built-in conversion tool maps and converts the complete SKM PTW Dapper® & Captor™ project files into ETAP using detailed default parameters and flexible device library mapping.

Detailed mapping & conversion of SKM PTW versions 6.x, 7.x, 8.x
Automatic protective device settings mapping
Create & save custom device library mapping as templates
One-line diagram conversion based on original layout
Import of user-created Time-Current Characteristic (TCC) curves

eTraX - Rail Traction System

Expanded Features & Capabilities

Track Voltage Calculation & Display
New calculation and result display of track-to-earth voltages based on train movement for comparison with EN 50122 standard for AC and DC railway power system.

Improved Import from Excel to eTraX
The speed to import and create track route information from Excel to eTraX is improved for large railway networks.

Customers may be experiencing problems accessing some of resources on the ETAP website due to an outage by one of our service providers. We are actively working to resolve the issue.
