Overview

Caneco BIM is a Revit® plugin for designing electrical installations while ensuring compliance with electrical calculation standards.

Caneco BIM enables electrical information to be exchanged between a digital model and the Caneco software range.

Caneco BIM enriches a project by providing all the properties required to build an electrical installation.

Caneco BIM is based on the same principle of linking the digital model to a high-performance calculation core and transfers it to the BIM context.

Caneco BIM builds upon Revit® to seamlessly integrate electrical design into BIM projects.

Benefits

  • Increased Productivity & Quality
    Automate, streamline, and accelerate the design process while reducing manual inputs and the associated risk of errors. Save valuable time while being BIM-ready and future-proof.
  • Improved Specifications
    The multi-manufacturer database for electrical equipment allows you to design systems for new or existing installations while accounting for each manufacturer’s characteristics.
  • Security and Compliance
    Caneco BIM guarantees the compliance of your digital electrical model with applicable standards, thanks to its interaction with Caneco’s calculation engine.

Challenges

Designing electrical installations requires specifiers and contrac­tors to use several different applications for electrical calcula­tion and design. An integrated software environment frees users from the challenge of entering the same information multiple times in different software packages.

By ensuring data integrity throughout the entire design process, Caneco addresses the most significant challenges in electrical design, while enabling automated cable routing (and more, see "Key Features"), ensuring compliance with standards and regulations, and allowing for the generation of precise reports and a comprehensive documentation.
