Bentley Building Electrical Systems V8i for AutoCAD Ships
EXTON,
PA, Jul 15, 2009 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company
dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the
infrastructure that sustains our world, today announced the release of
Bentley Building Electrical Systems V8i for AutoCAD. This innovative product
is the first comprehensive and intelligent AutoCAD-based electrical systems
software for the integrated design and analysis, documentation,
construction, and management of everything from power distribution and
lighting systems to fire detection, security, communications, and other
electrical/electronic systems in commercial, institutional, and industrial
facilities. Developed for the demanding needs of electrical engineers,
designers, and contractors, this easy-to-use software increases
productivity, design quality, and accuracy; saves time and money; enables
bidirectional interoperability with analysis programs; and facilitates
sustainable designs.

Rob Whitesell, senior vice president, Building and Plant Products,
Bentley Software, said, “A key advantage of this unique software offering is
that it adds electrical design capabilities to a user’s existing CAD
environment, reducing costs and accelerating implementation. It also
provides bidirectional compatibility with MicroStation, AutoCAD, and Revit,
and offers an efficient migration path to 3D and Building Information
Modeling.”
The software’s dedicated productivity tools automate and clearly capture
design, while its bidirectional interoperability with analysis applications
– including Bentley’s building performance analysis software – shortens the
design/analysis process and eliminates transcription errors. At the same
time, it ensures compliance with energy efficiency standards such as ASHRAE
90.1 and LEED, facilitating sustainable design.
Bentley Building Electrical Systems V8i for AutoCAD makes CAD-based
design of electrical systems easy and intuitive. However, this stand-alone
software also provides advanced capabilities that empower users to design
with greater freedom by:
- Facilitating stepwise refinement of design, minimizing rework by
allowing users to add design detail as it becomes available;
- Making it possible for users to focus on engineering design versus
drafting, increasing productivity and creativity;
- Facilitating not only transparent access to electrical design
information on demand, but also the reuse of design data.
