More Features

Extensive data set

AVEVA Cable Design provides a sample electrical catalogue, containing attribute information that permits accurate Weight, Centre of Gravity and Material Take Off reports.

Design reuse

Reuse cables created in single-line cabling diagrams using AVEVA Instrumentation, AVEVA Diagrams or AVEVA P&ID.
Import cable schedules in Microsoft Excel or .CSV formats.

Design rules ensure quality

Routing rules control the appropriate selection of cableways and their maximum fill levels, and avoid potential cable interference problems.
Automatically check compatibility of the cable with the function of the tray, cable attributes, cable connectivity and penetration attributes.
Cable tray fill levels are displayed visually.

3D integration

Sharing the common project database enables efficient 3D design and easy cable rerouting and length updates when the 3D layout changes.

Production engineering

Mark points enable accurate location of cables in cableways.

Configurable automatic deliverables

AVEVA Cable Design provides extensive, user-configurable cable, cableway and cable penetration report listings, including calculated values such as weight and centre of gravity.

Reduced design time

Automatic cable routing and checking functions increase productivity.

Reduced material costs

Accurate calculation of cable lengths allows precise ordering and minimises waste.

Reduced construction time

Accurately pre-cut cable lengths speed up installation.

1 - Reserve space

In the 3D design environment, reserve a spatial volume called a cableway.

2 - Route cables

Use AVEVA Cable Design to route cables through these cableways, automatically or manually. Cable routes may be reviewed and adjusted at any time.

3 - Calculate cable lengths

After routing, Use AVEVA Cable Design to automatically calculate cable cutting lengths, including any defined excess length.

4 - Detail the cable trays

Fully detail the cable trays in the AVEVA 3D design environment, including all Material Take Off and production details.
