November 25, 2005—Bentley Systems, Incorporated, has announced the release of Bentley Building Electrical Systems. The new software, which provides electrical system design and engineering, documentation, and management, addresses the needs of consulting engineers, contractors, owners, and facility managers in the building industry, says the company.
Based on proven elcoSystems UK technology, the standard in the industry, Bentley Building Electrical Systems can be applied to a variety of subsystems. Examples include electrical power, lighting, fire detection, security, and communications.
Completing Bentley’s mechanical/electrical/piping (M/E/P) solution, Bentley Building Electrical Systems complements Bentley Architecture, Bentley Structural, and Bentley Building Mechanical Systems. It offers a comprehensive range of dedicated tools for automated symbol placement, circuiting and labeling, raceway design, cable/circuit routing and management, and automated generation of riser diagrams and drawing legends, the company says.
The new software provides the following features: Integrated schedules and reporting; automated drawing production and coordination; integration with analysis; stepwise refinement of the design process; design and modeling of electrical subsystems; choice of 2D, 3D, or both.
Bentley Building Electrical Systems is offered as either a single-user license or as part of the Bentley SELECT and Enterprise License Subscription (ELS) program.
