elec calc™ BIM integrates the electrical project into the BIM process, giving priority to the communication between the different teams thanks to the IFC and BCF collaboration formats.

elec calc™ BIM directly integrates the calculation technology of elec calc™ and enables to exchange information with the digital model. With elec calc™ BIM, calculations can be based on a digital model in IFC 4 format which is created by a 3D architecture software (for example Revit, ArchiCAD or SketchUp).

For Revit® users, the elec calc™ BIM plugin optimises the collaboration between the two programmes. The compatibility with the electrical objects available on the BIM&CO platform is also an important asset for the integration and calculation of the products of manufacturers.

Main features:

• Import of the digital model into IFC format
• Visualisation of the digital model
• Creation of the electrical design project from the digital model
• Synchronisation of the digital model with an existing elec calc™ project
• Collaboration between different stakeholders using the BCF format
• Creation of a log file for each IFC revision
• Creation of circuits from Revit®
• Creation of cut sections in the viewer
• Sizing of the electrical installation according to different standards (IEC, VDE, RGIE, NIN, REBT, NF, NEN)
• Edition of the project file and actualisation of the digital model with the results of the studies
• Sharing of BIM objects with other stakeholders for better collaboration using the BIM&CO platform
• Automatic replacement of BIM objects in Revit® thanks to a specific plugin
• Automatic cable routing
• Drawing on the digital model in elec calc™
• Export of the project in IFC format
