Optical Symbol Recognition (OSR)

Based on a point cloud scan, the innovative primtech OSR tool can automatically recognize or create fitting assemblies to generate complete BIM 3D models. The assemblies are selected from the primtech library and placed respectively in the model or created and placed in accordance to detected characteristics.

Lightning protection feature in primtech

Our customers can now use the rolling-sphere method in the lightning protection calculation according to the DIN VDE 0101 Standard as well as IEC 62305-1 Standard, IEEE 998 and primtech supports as well user-defined sphere radius.

primtech Phase checker - automatically detects all live parts in a substation

This feature allows you to identify the individual phases of live parts including their geometries all across a substation. Each phase is then visually represented by a color (red, green, blue).

 

Clearance Calculation in primtech

The tool comfortably determine the distances between substation phases and other parts of the station, e.g. phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground and so on.

primtech is an engineering software for the design, construction and documentation of substations (air-insulated switchgear).

High-voltage equipment, substructures, cable ducts, wires, tubes, clamps, roads and fences can be easily selected from a comprehensive library and placed as intelligent 3D objects on a voltage-dependent grid.

The automatic generation of BOMs and CAD drawings relieve the designer of routine tasks, shorten project run times and avoid errors. primtech supports the designer throughout all project phases and improves quality and consistency of the entire workflow.

primtech is the solution for substation BIM (Building Information Modeling) and has powerful integrated calculation tools like a Lightning Protection Calculation, Clearance Calculation and Short-Circuit Current - Calculation of Effects.

Benchmark tests have shown that primtech users are more than 15 times faster in some phases of the design of a switchgear project than when other, conventional CAD software tools for designing substations are used.

Users all round the world are enthusiastic about the functionality, which has grown over years and which offers project managers the quick overview they need to make the right decisions.

 

Component Library

The component library manages component data and CAD models, and makes intelligent assembly functions available for design work in the CAD system.

 

CAD functions

Intelligent primtech-AutoCAD objects, developed specifically for the switchgear sector, make the design of a substation extremely easy with primtech.
 

 

Data exchange

Data exchange plays a crucial role in the planning and design process. primtech offers functions for all common scenarios.
