Building Electrical Design and Electrical Schematics in CAD
Building Electrical Design requires adequate domain knowledge, Cad expertise and experience of integrating electrical and lighting design for BIM coordination and project planning. For the lighting design one need to fetch and deliver data from CAD/AutoCAD drawing (power distribution specifications, cable dimensions, switch layouts etc.) to the calculation module, and send the output back to the CAD system to deliver accurate building model in CAD.
Full-service CAD software help electrical design and lighting engineers build layout faster by intrinsically providing technical aspects such as building codes and regional standards, updated component library and Electrical Symbols.
CAD software such as SolidWorks, Inventor and Catia comes with wide-range of tools and electrical component libraries for building electrical design. They can provide following important outputs:
• Building Electrical layout
• Plans and Design diagrams
• Lighting System integration design
• Technical specifications
• Electrical and Lighting Calculations
• Engineering Documentation
You require following details to completely integrate lighting design into CAD:
• Calculations for finding electrical power demand
• Calculations for building electrical layout
• Calculations for cable dimensions
• LV/HV electrical components
• Control unit circuit diagrams
• Geometric coordinates of the lighting system
• Building Wiring design and standards
• Terminations Diagrams
Electrical installation requires structural dimensions and regional building code details. One must specify objective of each room and the layout must map to the layout design relevantly. The building can be anything – Residential and Commercial buildings, Industrial Units, Theaters, Schools, Hospitals, Convention Halls among others.
