BIMPOWER

As technology continues to advance in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, it becomes essential for professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest tools and plugins that can enhance their workflow. One such tool that has been making waves in the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is BIMPOWER, a robust and user-friendly add-in for Autodesk® Revit®. Designed specifically to streamline the design and coordination process, BIMPOWER empowers BIM designers to dynamically configure electrical equipment without ever leaving the Revit environment.

Features and Benefits

One of the standout features of BIMPOWER is its ability to generate electrical equipment models specific to each configuration. This means that designers no longer have to waste time visiting websites to download new models or maintaining their own library of families. With BIMPOWER, the add-in takes care of all the heavy lifting, allowing designers to focus on what they do best - designing.

Furthermore, BIMPOWER provides real-time design feedback and tracks the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the entire project. This feature is incredibly valuable as it enables designers to make informed decisions throughout the design process and ensures that all project stakeholders are on the same page. The BOM can be easily downloaded and shared with project stakeholders, or exported directly to Siemens' quotation platform (COMPAS), saving both time and effort.

Configurations and Customization

BIMPOWER offers a wide range of equipment configurations, including bus duct, bus plugs, panelboards, multi-family metering, switchboards, transformers, automatic transfer switches, and more. These configurations are based on Siemens product standards, but designers have the flexibility to easily customize dimensions to match any equipment manufacturer. This level of customization not only increases design flexibility but also ensures that the final design meets the specific requirements of the project.

Time and Cost Savings

One of the most significant advantages of using BIMPOWER is the time and cost savings it offers. By automating the process of generating electrical equipment models and tracking the BOM, designers can significantly reduce the amount of time spent on repetitive tasks. This not only increases productivity but also allows firms to allocate resources more efficiently, ultimately saving money in the long run.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BIMPOWER is a game-changer for BIM designers looking to streamline their design and coordination process. With its user-friendly interface, real-time design feedback, and seamless integration with Revit, BIMPOWER empowers designers to work more efficiently and effectively. By eliminating the need to visit external websites for equipment models and automating the BOM tracking process, BIMPOWER saves time and money while enabling firms to increase their value add to the project. If you're looking to enhance your workflow and take your BIM designs to the next level, BIMPOWER is definitely worth a try.
