BIMPOWER

Introduction

In the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), efficiency and accuracy are key components to successful project delivery. Autodesk® Revit® is a powerful tool used by many BIM designers to create detailed models and coordinate various building systems. However, the process of configuring electrical equipment within Revit can often be time-consuming and cumbersome. This is where BIMPOWER comes in, offering a robust and user-friendly add-in that simplifies the design and coordination process for BIM designers.

Features and Benefits

BIMPOWER is designed to streamline the design and coordination process within Revit, allowing users to dynamically configure electrical equipment and make changes as they iterate on their design without ever leaving the software. One of the standout features of BIMPOWER is its ability to generate electrical equipment models specific to each configuration, eliminating the need to visit external websites to download new models or maintain a library of families.

With BIMPOWER, BIM designers can easily configure a wide range of electrical equipment 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 can be customized to match any equipment manufacturer's dimensions, providing flexibility and adaptability to meet project requirements.

One of the biggest advantages of using BIMPOWER is the time and money it saves for firms. By automating the equipment configuration process and providing design feedback, BIMPOWER enables firms to increase their value add to the project while also improving overall project efficiency. Additionally, the add-in tracks the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the entire project, which can be downloaded to share with project stakeholders or exported directly to Siemens' quotation platform (COMPAS).
