Features

One solution for specialists in electrical engineering

Complete documentation creation

Create high quality documentation – single-line diagrams, multi-line diagrams, arrangement drawings, cabinet layouts, reports, and other electrical documentation – linked to the project database.
- Full scope project deliverables: Create required electrical deliverables with customizable workflows. Start with any type of document and complete deliverables in your preferred order.
- Generate documentation: Generate documents and reports effortlessly from your project data and reduce manual work.
Data-driven design

Centralized database ensures that all project documents are in sync, reducing manual work and improving accuracy in all project stages.
- Connected project data: Use electrical objects across diagrams, layouts, and reports consistently thanks to a centralized project database. Efficiently update individual documents or bulk-edit the entire project from the database tool.
- Reduced manual work: Eliminate repetitive tasks. Automatic updates keep project data such as references, markings, and objects in sync.
Integration with engineering tools

Smoothly integrate with other tools to improve accuracy across 3D, P&ID, cable routing and other disciplines.
- Faster installation design: Design in 2D or 3D with location data linked across CADMATIC Electrical, P&ID, and 3D Plant Design. Ensure accuracy and reduce late-stage corrections.
- Accurate cable lengths: Create and connect cables in Electrical and route them automatically to calculate cable lengths, fill rates, and other data directly in this electrical design software.
- P&ID connection: Import P&ID objects to Electrical and continue designing devices, cable connections, inputs and outputs, and other required Electrical data – ensuring schematic and layout consistency.
- 3rd party integration: Import or export different document types such as DRW, DWG, IFC, BCF, DXF, DGN, XML, PDF, and many more. Integrate with engineering tools such as ETAP, DIALux, and more.
