All-in-one software for electrical installation design, does it exist?
Hi everyone,
I have a question for electrical installation designers.
Does there exist an all-in-one software package that can handle most of the usual design calculations in a single environment, such as:
- Cable selection and sizing
- Protective device selection (fuses/breakers)
- Short-circuit calculations
- Lightning protection system design
- Photometric / lighting calculations
…instead of using many different tools like Excel calculators, separate short-circuit tools, and DIALux (or similar) for lighting?
In other words, is there a single integrated tool that significantly simplifies the workflow for electrical installation designers?
If not, do you think it would be a good idea to invest in developing such software?
Would you personally be interested in using or buying this kind of tool, and what features would be “must-have” for you?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and experiences!
