Hierarchical visualization using Composite Views – Networks & Motors

Hierarchical visualization using Composite Views – Networks & Motors

Composite Networks allow users to model and graphically divide the network into multi-nested views all in one project. Composite Motors combine motor control centers (MCC), loads, motors, and protective devices and represent it as a single element. These different views provide a more organized and straightforward appearance. Composite Networks can be nested with unlimited sub-networks, allowing for multiple layers in one project.

  • Customizable Views
  • Unlimited Composite Views
  • Unlimited Connections
  • User-defined Location & Sizing
  • User-defined Symbols, Thumbnails, Images
  • Visualize Properties & Results
Color Contouring

Color Contouring

Color contouring functionality allows the user to apply a preset or user-configurable color map to the one-line diagram. These maps are color-coded based on voltage or power flow magnitude providing an instant picture of normal and abnormal areas of the electrical or geospatial system, especially for extensive networks.

Engineering Data Display & Management - DataBlock
