Underground Design
07/16/96
Duct bank conduits are automatically generated from one guide conduit.
Duct bank conduits are automatically encased by concrete. A report will list the concrete required for each duct bank run. *

7. Underground Design Cross Sections and Automated Annotations*
07/16/96
Underground Design Cross Sections and Automated Annotations
Section marks are placed manually and their positions saved to the database so that that may be recalled when needed. *

8. *
07/16/96
A proven technique is to use view ports to pull the cross section from one master drawing to drawings that contain several cross sections. *

9. *
Designing Trays
07/16/96
Just draw lines and TrayMatic creates all straights and fittings automatically.
Use dwgs or dgns as backgrounds to route trays and conduits.
Tray stacking is automatic. Offsets are computed accurately to maintain spacing. Service levels and tray type are also assigned automatically. *

10. Tray BOM Using Custom or Vendor Catalogs*
07/16/96
Tray BOM Using Custom or Vendor Catalogs
Automated Tray Design Plus BOM With Vendor Part Numbers *

11. Connecting Equipment To Tray*
Connecting Equipment To Tray
07/16/96
Conduits can be routed automatically to the nearest acceptable tray respecting cable segregation and separation or designed manually to follow the building steel. Conduit sizing is optionally automatic. *

12. Tray Automatic Annotations*
Tray Automatic Annotations
07/16/96
Place leader lines where you want the tags to appear. Leader lines are saved in the database and tags are automatically generated. *

13. Construction Friendly Tray Isometrics*
07/16/96
Construction friendly tray isometrics are very easy to make. Complete with legend and bill of material .. this construction drawing will become part of your standard of excellence. *

14. Export Model for Plant Review or Clash Detection*
Export Model for Plant Review or Clash Detection
07/16/96
Any or All TrayMatic electrical components are exportable to graphical formats for any Plant Design system. In some situations, surface models are preferable for plant review or for special rendering software. A “solids” graphical output is required for clash detection programs such as used by PDS. *

15. Electrical Design - Cable Routing*
07/16/96
Electrical Design - Cable Routing
CableMatic Plus (CM+) is used to automatically route the cables,
obeying the following rules:
1) NEC Tray Fill
2) NEC Conduit Fill
3) Segregation and Nuclear Safety Separation
4) Cable Route -Shortest Length Minimizing Bends
CM+ uses an extremely fast cable routing algorithm
that makes it practical to reroute all cables
as may be needed due to raceway design changes.
Manual routing or routing adjustments may also be used
when there are special circumstances. *

16. Cable List Using Spreadsheet Data Entry*
Cable List Using Spreadsheet Data Entry
07/16/96
As a standard method of data entry, our spreadsheet program, DBView, is used for creating data. This program will extract data from the database by any combination of data columns. Work can be performed by many people focusing on different cables and different data columns. *

17. Multi Function Cable/Equipment Data Entry*
07/16/96
This form provides a convenient method to review and update cables and equipment.
The form is also useful when an individual cable route requires a manually designed route or when a route requires editing. *

18. *
Cable Schedule
07/16/96
Cable and conduit schedules can be generated with filtering and/or sorting by practically any data. Changes from the last engineering release are highlighted for both engineering review and for construction planning. *

19. *
Cable Bill of Material
07/16/96
Companies that use TrayMatic for raceway design will find that cable lengths are very accurate. *

20. *
Tray Bill of Material
07/16/96
Companies that use TrayMatic for raceway design will get a detailed tray BOM. This report can only be created by TrayMatic and can be requested from Electrical Engineering. The report can be generated for any plant or group of plant areas and should be useful for planning purposes. *

21. Conduit Bill of Material*
Conduit Bill of Material
07/16/96
Companies that use TrayMatic for raceway design will get a detailed conduit BOM. This report can only be created by TrayMatic and can be requested from Electrical Engineering. In this example, the underground conduits are counted. The report can be generated for any plant or group of plant areas and should be useful for planning purposes. *

23. Modifying Termination Changes in Real Time*
07/16/96
Modifying Termination Changes in Real Time
In the perfect world, engineering will develop the wiring data in the engineering office. However, as new data arrives form vendors, changes have to be made in the field. The GSN system will alert the constructor if a termination ticket has already been printed and data has changed. *

24. *
Tracking Cable Pulls
07/16/96
Cable pulls are recorded on the cable pull installation ticket and the length and reel numbers recorded in the field office. *

25. Tracking Terminations*
Tracking Terminations
07/16/96
Terminations are recorded on the termination installation ticket and the from/to status is recorded in the field office. *

26. R.I.T.S Method Raceway Installation Tracking System*
07/16/96
Raceway installation tracking is performed using a spreadsheet. *

27. *
Cable Reel Inventory
07/16/96
