Underground Design Duct bank conduits are automatically generated from one guide conduit. Duct bank

Underground Design Duct bank conduits are automatically generated from one guide conduit. Duct bank conduits are automatically encased by concrete. A report will list the concrete required for each duct bank run.

Underground Design Cross Sections and Automated Annotations Section marks are placed manually and their

Underground Design Cross Sections and Automated Annotations Section marks are placed manually and their positions saved to the database so that may be recalled when needed.

A proven technique is to use view ports to pull the cross section from

A proven technique is to use view ports to pull the cross section from one master drawing to drawings that contain several cross sections.

Designing Trays Just draw lines and Tray. Matic creates all straights and fittings automatically.

Designing Trays Just draw lines and Tray. Matic creates all straights and fittings automatically. Use dwgs or dgns as backgrounds to route trays and conduits. Tray stacking is automatic. Offsets are computed accurately to maintain spacing. Service levels and tray type are also assigned automatically.

Export Model for Plant Review or Clash Detection Any or All Tray. Matic electrical components are exportable to graphical formats for any Plant Design system. In some situations, surface models are preferable for plant review or for special rendering software. A “solids” graphical output is required for clash detection programs such as used by PDS.

Electrical Design - Cable Routing u Cable. Matic Plus (CM+) is used to automatically

Electrical Design - Cable Routing u Cable. Matic Plus (CM+) is used to automatically route the cables, obeying the following rules: 1) NEC Tray Fill 2) NEC Conduit Fill 3) Segregation and Nuclear Safety Separation 4) Cable Route -Shortest Length Minimizing Bends u CM+ uses an extremely fast cable routing algorithm that makes it practical to reroute all cables as may be needed due to raceway design changes. Manual routing or routing adjustments may also be used when there are special circumstances.

Cable List Using Spreadsheet Data Entry As a standard method of data entry, our spreadsheet program, DBView, is used for creating data. This program will extract data from the database by any combination of data columns. Work can be performed by many people focusing on different cables and different data columns.

Multi Function Cable/Equipment Data Entry This form provides a convenient method to review and

Multi Function Cable/Equipment Data Entry This form provides a convenient method to review and update cables and equipment. The form is also useful when an individual cable route requires a manually designed route or when a route requires editing.

Cable Schedule Cable and conduit schedules can be generated with filtering and/or sorting by

Cable Schedule Cable and conduit schedules can be generated with filtering and/or sorting by practically any data. Changes from the last engineering release are highlighted for both engineering review and for construction planning.

Cable Bill of Material Companies that use Tray. Matic for raceway design will find that cable lengths are very accurate.

Tray Bill of Material Companies that use Tray. Matic for raceway design will get

Tray Bill of Material Companies that use Tray. Matic for raceway design will get a detailed tray BOM. This report can only be created by Tray. Matic and can be requested from Electrical Engineering. The report can be generated for any plant or group of plant areas and should be useful for planning purposes.

Modifying Termination Changes in Real Time In the perfect world, engineering will develop the wiring data in the engineering office. However, as new data arrives form vendors, changes have to be made in the field. The GSN system will alert the constructor if a termination ticket has already been printed and data has changed.
