ELECTRO GRAPHICS is a trusted reference in software for electrical and photovoltaic design, says Giuseppe Agostini, president and founder of the software house.<\/strong>
“The company has been involved since the very beginning in the rise of computer tools supporting electrical design, developing CADelet, the first integrated AutoCAD application for the drafting, calculation, and cost estimation of electrical diagrams and systems.<\/p>\n

Later, the creation of the electrical CAD software Eplus and iDEA\u2014based on the Autodesk OEM CAD engine and integrated with the Amp\u00e8re line for electrical network calculation and Sigma for estimation\u2014made our solution portfolio truly unique and compelling.<\/p>\n

The growing need for design tools dedicated to renewable energy sources led to the development of Solergo, which quickly became a benchmark for photovoltaic system design.<\/p>\n

To address the requirements introduced by BIM systems, we developed the electroBIM plug-in for designing electrical systems in Autodesk Revit\u00ae, which enables a bidirectional connection between the Amp\u00e8re calculation software suite and the world\u2019s most widespread BIM environment.”<\/p>\n

electroBIM 2026<\/strong> enables conduit design in Revit using a vast library of commercial components. It allows the definition of the electrical distribution network, data, fire protection, HVAC, and TV\/SAT systems. The software automatically routes cables through the traced conduits, with annotations and fill checks.<\/p>\n

For the electrical distribution network, electroBIM supports load definition, power propagation throughout the system, protection coordination, and line sizing with voltage drop calculations. It generates summary tables of the panels and sized lines.<\/p>\n

For further calculation and verification needs, a bidirectional operation is active with the Amp\u00e8re electrical calculation software, enabling fault analysis, protection selectivity, switchboard checks, and much more.<\/p>\n

Concludes Eng. Agostini:
\u201cOur participation in Smart Building Expo 2026 aims to present a design methodology in a BIM environment that enhances the capabilities of CAD, leveraging the potential of a natively parametric modeling environment like Autodesk Revit.
In this context, the exchange of electrical network data defined in Autodesk Revit\u00a9 with the Amp\u00e8re software suite becomes essential\u2014this is a core element of the BIM philosophy: sharing information to ensure smooth communication and collaboration among the various professionals involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of a building throughout its entire lifecycle.\u201d<\/p>\n
