FineELEC combines Design and Calculations in a Fully
INtegrated Environment, making all the required
calculations for any Electrical Building Installation
directly from drawings, hence producing automatically
all the study results: Calculation sheets, technical
reports, bill of materials and costing, as well as all
the final drawings (plan views, panel diagrams,
details) fully updated.
FineELEC consists of two Components, synergistically
interacting between each other:
The CAD Component, a powerful autonomous tool
(based on IntelliCAD), including a flexible cad
interface for designing the installation and an expert
system for producing the final drawings (plan views of
the installation, block diagram, panel drawings
details etc).
The Calculations Component, an advanced
calculation environment, using a spreadsheet-like
functionality and a rich methodological background. It
provides all the calculation results of the network,
in a perfectly presented and completely documented way.
Advanced CAD Interface
FineELEC has an advanced CAD interface for designing
any electrical installation in two simple steps:
Location of the Installation components on the
ground plan (panels, receptors, appliances, lights,
switches etc)
Cable Drawing design (auto-routing) with simple
or more sophisticated commands (i.e. .Cables Parallel
to Wall, automatically connected to the receptors.
command) that speed up the process. Screen 1 The view
plan can be in any DWG or DXF file format or even
taken from a scanner (bitmap file). Also the
Architectural plan can be drawn from scratch through
the AutoBLD (Architectural) commands of the package.
Complete Calculations directly from the Drawings

The calculations Component is automatically updated
from the installation drawings through the AutoNET
group of commands. The network is recognised and
transferred into the calculation sheet, where it is
immediately calculated. Calculations are based on a
rich Methodological background, adopting International
and European standards.

All the components of the installation (cables,
protection devices etc) are calculated in detail,
taking into account any relative parameter (ambient
temperature, cable installation method and means etc).
Intermediate calculation results (e.g. permissible
current in each line, voltage drops etc) are also
presented. Optimization routines (such as sutomatic
phases allocation) and control procedures (such as
short circuit controls etc) are also accomplished. In
addition the program produces the bill of materials,
and a series of technical descriptions. All the
results are shown in the calculations output and are
completely documented
Automatic production of all
project drawings
All project drawing are automatically created in a
final form:

Panels: They include all the information and can be
edited by the user.

Block Diagram: Shows the distribution diagram of the
whole installation.

Plan Drawings: Fully updated according to the
calculation results.

All the drawing can be edited and enriched, using the
special utilities and the symbol libraries which are
open to the user.
5 + 1 reasons for working with FINE-ELEC

Global Design based on Object Oriented
Programming (OOP) philosophy, Implemented with the
most advanced tools (C++) and a long-range software
engineering technology.
Autonomous CAD (including IntelliCAD with its
user license) providing full independency from other
CAD environments, but keeping the most popular CAD
standards and open dwg communication.

Work on real 3D model of the project (building
plus electrical network) from the beginning to the
end. Unlimited freedom to create and modify, through
parametric dialog boxes, due to the object structure
of the whole information.
Seamless Integration between the CAD Component
and the Electrical Calculation Component and
Interactive Communication between drawings and
spreadsheets.
Calculation environment based on a rich and
reliable methodological background, adopting the most
modern techniques and standards. Results completely
documented and perfectly presented.

4M-Suite Supports the close cooperation between
the Electrical Engineer and the Architect, Civil
Engineer and Mechanical Engineer, during all the
stages of the Building Design process
