primtech intelligent substation design - Evolution is the first step towards revolution

See how substation design has evolved—from technical drawings to CAD to advanced 3D modeling.

Substation design: OSR - Optical Symbol Recognition - substation BIM model out of point cloud scans

primtech OSR+PRO digitalizes substations by automatically converting point cloud scans into intelligent 3D BIM models. Using AI, it detects structures, assembles components, and creates a complete, structured substation model.

Substation design: Realistic Wires with Advanced Wire Mode

primtech 3D simplifies creating realistic wires with its Advanced Wire Mode. This feature lets users adjust wire position and curvature using control points, adding or removing them as needed. The entry tangent can be freely defined, making it easy to model wires for new and existing substations based on laser scan data. Start with the primtech connection configurator, then choose between normal or advanced mode to refine the wire curve.

Substation design: Visualization and real time performance - big substation model

This video demonstrates primtech 3D’s real-time performance, with no fast-forwarding. Watch how easily a substation model is modified, from smooth design checks and visualization to instant BOM generation. primtech 3D uses an intuitive structure to manage bays, modules, voltage levels, and more. See a large substation model (16,000m of wires, 4,000m of tubes) load in 20 seconds and take a real-time ground-level walkthrough.

Substation design: Connections – wires, tubes and clamps

Wires, tubes, and connections play a key role in substation design—especially wire sag. This short video highlights how easily primtech 3D handles and adjusts these components, making substation design smarter and more efficient. It’s just a glimpse of what’s possible—reach out for the full picture.

Substation design: Lightning Protection Calculation - Buildings

This video shows how primtech calculates lightning protection for GIS buildings. Simply select rods, and primtech quickly determines the protected volume.

Substation design: Phase Checker

primtech detects the phases across the entire substation by identifying individual phases and recognizing the geometries of live parts, assigning each phase a distinct color.

Substation design: Clearance Calculation

This demo showcases primtech’s clearance calculation for Air Insulated Substations. Using a 3D CAD model, primtech automatically classifies live parts into three phases and checks the clearances.

Substation design: BIM - Building Information Modeling - control building for HV substations

This video demonstrates how primtech’s BIM feature simplifies creating control buildings for high-voltage substations. It covers three main stages: 3D building modeling with intelligent objects (walls, doors, stairs), adding interior equipment and furnishings (switchboards, office furniture), and generating drawings and reports.
