MagiCAD Electrical

Enables the user to configure and draw wires accurately and according to the local presentation standard. In addition, the tool also lets you to copy settings from an existing wire as a reference. Achieve the exact look you want with user-defined chamfer or curved wire lines with specific angles and offsets.

Furthermore, it handles connections of wires to cable routes, with automatic extension to the connected panel board. By utilising the cable packet extension feature it is possible to accurately calculate the actual supply cable length and automatically referencing the exact amount of cables and their types at any point of the cable routes, in addition to the cables' weights and sizes.

MagiCAD allows you to evaluate cable tray filling ratios and preview how cables could be laid on them. Cable layout functions can be used in early-phase planning, before a single cable tray has been modelled, or to validate a design in a later stage of the project.

Cable layouts can include up to five slots, allowing you to divide the supply cables of different systems to different sections on a tray, or to reserve extra space for future expansions. For each slot, you can define the desired width and the spacing used for the cables which are laid in it.

The total space available for the slots can be set according to the size of an existing cable tray in the project. In addition, you can view the filling percentage and width of each slot and the total weight per meter for the whole cable tray at the selected point in the system.

All-in-one tools for fast configuration of routing preferences and realistic coordination solutions for containment modelling.

Reference existing containment, set system codes and name; select containment type and assign the suitable installation code all in one command.

Also coordinate new containment with other MEP or building elements in order to automatically select installation heights and offsets.

For selecting products quickly and accurately.

With access to defined geometrical and technical information, it makes selecting the correct product simple , based on the design criteria. Electrical products include powerboards, sockets, switches, luminaries as well as audio & video, security, fire alarm, controllers and more. All products can also be created with a selection from a localised 2D symbol library.

Once the product selection is made, the product placement tool is used to install the chosen products fast, easily and accurately. The tool helps to align the product to other products’ offset levels, place as a face-based or level-based item, array the product according to a specific pattern and set symbol alignment right away. All options are optimised to each product type.

Enables export to Dialux and import back to Revit.

Export is possible for space geometry from Revit to DIALux, including windows and doors, as well as work planes for calculating illuminance, reflection factors and more. After the lighting design is completed within DIALux and the luminaires have been selected, they can be imported back into the correct space and position in the Revit model with all technical information available. During this import, 2D symbols can be added to luminaires from one of the localised symbol libraries inside MagiCAD.

Automatically arrange your 2D symbols to your specific requirements whilst maintaining the 3D geometry.

A challenge for the electrical designer is the placing of 3D products in the correct position whilst displaying the 2D symbols are placed in a suitably in order to achieve a legible electrical layout drawing. By using MagiCAD Symbol Organiser Tool, the electrical designers are able to place the actual 3D models in the correct position and then automatically move all selected symbols to suit the desired layout.

Generate circuit-based switchboard schematics for any chosen power board within a Revit project.

Localised board schematic templates are used to generate the schematic layouts based on the electrical model.

When a schematic is generated, its properties can be modified or changed using our handy circuit management tool giving greater control over the circuit definitions.  Automatic circuit numbering based on user-defined formats can be created along with changing the circuit wire type, circuit breaker rating and symbol amongst other electrical properties. Once the schematic has been modified, the electrical Revit model can be quickly updated with all the changes made in the schematic so they are always synchronised with the model.

In addition, it is possible to define circuits in the schematic layouts even before they are created in the Revit model.  Later on, when an actual circuit is created, it can be mapped to an available circuit in a schematic layout. This also works for data panels, fire alarm panels and similar.

MagiCAD Libraries are Europe's largest selection of BIM objects for MEP design

MagiCAD Libraries offer a wide selection of high-quality BIM objects. Designers utilizing MagiCAD can utilise the full catalogue of one million intelligent BIM objects and access detailed, accurate dimensions and comprehensive technical data. The Library represents products from over 280 international manufacturers.

Advanced search functionalities are offered also through the online service, MagiCAD Cloud. It enables product selection & download directly from MagiCAD Cloud library into your MagiCAD projects

MagiCAD Create is a complementary software for creating custom MEP product libraries for both MagiCAD for Revit MEP and MagiCAD for AutoCAD. MagiCAD Create is available as a separate desktop application and also accessible directly from the MagiCAD interface.

MagiCAD Create enables you to model a comprehensive set of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing products using easy-to-use modelling functions. If you need to use specific products which are not part of our ready-made selection of over 1,000,000 manufacturer-specific product models, you can download and install MagiCAD Create and begin modelling.

MagiCAD Create be downloaded free-of-charge directly from the MagiCAD user interface using the Plugin Manager function or from the MagiCAD Download Portal. You can open MagiCAD Create from the desktop or from the MagiCAD user interface.

Modelling with MagiCAD Create is easy because you can define custom products by editing the dimensions and technical properties of MagiCAD’s existing generic product databases. You can create additional databases for MagiCAD according to your project needs and edit the properties of the new products and product variants.

Plugins connect selection tool or configurator to MagiCAD

When the manufacturer has highly customizable products, a large number of product variants, or they want to help their customers in selecting and installing the most suitable product in each situation, a product selection plugin is specifically developed. Over 20 MagiCAD Plugins connect manufacturers’ product selection and calculation software directly to MagiCAD, making product selection faster, easier and more accurate.

Once you have selected a product, you can import and place the product from the plugin in your MagiCAD model just as any other intelligent MagiCAD object. Information about the dimensions and technical data is included in the product model.

You will also get direct access to a wider range of more complex and more configurable products.
