Trace Software International and BIM&CO announce a partnership to develop a gateway between the bimandco.com construction product database and BIM content management platform Onfly, and the elec calc™ electrical installation calculation software.
A manufacturers’ catalogue for electrical installation designers
Any electrical installation design project requires the integration of electrical equipment. To meet this challenge, the elec calc™ software provides professionals with a wide choice of manufacturers through a catalogue of material references.
Thanks to the Onfly – elec calc™ gateway, it will be possible to search for electrical material references on bimandco.com & Onfly and integrate them directly into one’s elec calc™ project. This complementary approach to the standard catalogue allows all electrical installation designers to go even further in the management of manufacturer equipment.
“The communication between BIM&CO and elec calc™ will bring a new dimension to the use of manufacturer data. Our users will have at their disposal a library of electrical material, easily accessible, which will allow them to enrich the databases already available in their elec calc™ catalogue,” says Martial Leroy, Product Manager Trace Software.
BIM&CO and elec calc™ connector : how does it work?
Using the connector from elec calc™ is very simple. In plain terms, electrical equipment manufacturers enter their catalogues on the bimandco.com platform or their Onfly platform. The management system of the latter allows them to manage and classify the content provided in the form of a library of BIM objects. This is an excellent way for them to showcase their product ranges directly to designers.
The plug-in with elec calc™ will allow users of the software to find references directly on the platform and have a complementary database to their manufacturer catalogue.
This partnership is ideal for all those who wish to go even further in the provision of manufactured data for electricity.
Baptiste Mullie, CEO at BIM&CO, says “We are delighted to add elec calc™ to our list of connectors. This connection will not only allow manufacturers on the bimandco.com platform to make their product data available directly in the business software, but also allow the software publisher Trace to manage the Manufacturers and users catalogues directly from Onfly, their dedicated platform.”
