Introduction
CYPELEC Multiline is a program that can be used to draw the multi-wire diagram of an electrical installation and print it on drawings in different formats.
The application can automatically generate this diagram from the information provided by other low voltage electrical installation analysis tools, such as CYPELEC, which defines the single-line diagram and the connection between phases for each line, whether single-phase or three-phase.
The generated multi-wire diagram can be edited or the elements and the layout of the connection lines that make up the installation can be entered manually from scratch, including both the electrical conduits and the terminal elements and their corresponding protection switchgear. This representation is of great interest when transferring the preliminary design to the execution phase of the connections.
Work environment
The program has a simple work environment that helps to design the multi-line diagram quickly, entering and distributing the elements in different drawings in the desired formats.
The interface displays the following:
- A top toolbar containing the tools for: configuring the drawing options; entering and editing the elements in the system, including buses, earthing elements, electrical switchgear, terminal elements and measurement and control elements; accessing the editing tools; and inserting annotations and labels.
- On the left-hand side panel, the tools for defining and navigating through the different drawings that make up the multi-wire diagram of the system.
- Finally, the work area, on the right of the screen, where the elements mentioned in the selected drawing are entered, edited and displayed.
Results output
Drawings in DWG, DXF or PDF format
The program can print the job drawings on any graphic peripheral configured on the computer or create DWG, DXF or PDF files.
The drawing edition configures the "Reference" of the drawing and to activate or deactivate the representation of each of the categories of elements in the installation, as well as the tags entered as annotations.
The drawings can be obtained via the "Drawings" option at the top of the interface or via the "Reports" option in the "File" menu.
Integration into the BIMserver.center platform
Many of CYPE's programs are connected to the BIMserver.center platform and allow collaborative work to be carried out via the exchange of files in formats based on open standards.
Please note that, to work on BIMserver.center, users can register on the platform free of charge and create a profile.
When accessing a program connected to the platform, the program connects to a project in BIMserver.center. This way, the files of the projects that have been developed collaboratively in BIMserver.center are kept up to date.
Licenses and related modules
CYPE programs are activated via electronic licenses which may contain one or more modules. The list of modules compatible with each program may vary depending on the product purchased and the type of license.
To consult the list of modules compatible with this program, go to "CYPE program modules".
Please note that the list of modules available in the license will depend on the product purchased.
