Generating and assigning electrical outlets for equipment imported from the BIM model

A new feature is added to the program that allows users to both manually and automatically assign outlets to the equipment imported from the BIM model.

When reading a BIM project, CYPELEC Electrical Mechanisms allows electrical equipment included in the architectural model to be imported, such as: televisions, cookers, washing machines, dishwashers, extractor fans, refrigerators, microwaves and computers.

The program will notify users when the required service needs to be provided for this equipment. This service can be carried out by means of a manual or automatic assignment of the previously introduced required outlet, or by means of an automatic generation of outlets, according to the criteria for the selection of outlets per appliance.

  • Manual assignment with previously introduced outlets
    In order to carry out this manual assignment, users must click on the “Assign” button in the “Assign outlets” group in the toolbar and in this order. First, the equipment is chosen, and then the outlet to be assigned.
  • Automatic assignment with previously introduced outlets
    In order to carry out this automatic assignment, users must click on the "Generate" icon in the "Assign outlets" group in the toolbar. The program will select the one that is best suited for service and proximity from those available.
  • Automatic generation of outlets per equipment
    In order to carry out this automatic generation, users must click on the “Generate outlets” icon in the “Elements” group in the toolbar. The program will introduce the outlets required depending on the service required for each device.  The criteria for their introduction depends on the selection made in the "Processing of the equipment of the BIM model" section of the general options.
