DDScad Electrical: Design, Calculate, Visualize and Document

The software is the universal solution for electrical specialists and designers. You can use it to design the complete electrotechnical building services. At the same time, the design solution provides comprehensive and legally compliant documentation.

Safety and error-free design

DDScad Electro allows convenient designing - even with design changes - thanks to its automatisms and system-inherent intelligence. Integrated automatic calculation and test functions, for example, ensure the necessary safety and freedom from errors.

Complete cable calculation

Among the cable features in DDScad Electro, the cable calculation is available, taking into account the type of installation, cable accumulation and temperature. In addition, the empty conduit calculation, short-circuit calculation and voltage drop calculation are taken into account to check the permissible cable lengths. The calculation results are displayed in reports. A cable routing list can be output for the installation.

The highlights of DDScad Electro:

• Designing and visualization of floor plans and building models in 2D and 3D
• Design of ceiling grids, roofs, skylights, dormers and chimneys
• Integrated lighting calculation (bidirectional interfaces to Relux and Dialux)
• Intelligent design of installation systems across floors (cable tray, underfloor duct, etc.)
• Highly flexible, cross-floor cable and wire laying with automatically generated cable list
• Integrated cable and line calculation as well as length control (e.g. for data cables)
• Automatic collision check across all disciplines
• Planning of lightning protection and earthing systems as well as equipotential bonding
• Placement and visualization of PV modules
• Future-oriented BIM design through integrated IFC and BCF interfaces
