Bentley OpenUtilities Substation 2024 v24.00.00.84

OpenUtilities Substation is an electric substation design software.

OpenUtilities Substation provides a comprehensive, integrated set of capabilities that make the design process faster, easier, and more efficient. Avoid rework, reduce errors, and enhance collaboration with linked and cross-referenced 3D layouts and electrical drawings. Capture best practices and enforce standards with automatic error checks, bills of material, and construction prints.

Easily create intelligent 3D substation models from a database of intelligent objects. You can use the model to seed, create, link, and maintain consistency across 2D drawings, electrical schematics, and reports. And maximize efficiencies when your project moves beyond the design phase, speed construction and enhance operations by sharing the 3D model produced.

Design Substation Physical Layout

• Perform layout in 3D using a catalog of equipment objects that snap together at predefined hook points.
• Move groups of connected equipment as units to change positions quickly.
• Use built-in 3D tools to design the grounding grid and lightning protection and analyze cable sag, clearances, and clashes.

Design Substation Protection And Control

• Produce linked and cross-referenced one-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, schematics, and panel layouts.
• Speed design with wires that break and heal automatically as you place or remove symbols.
• Save time and increase quality with automatic wire numbering, device tagging, error checking, and more.

Estimate Substation Materials

• Create reports automatically with a parts database that connects every 3D object and electrical symbol to detailed parts data.
• Publish accurate bills of materials, wire length reports, purchase order lists, and more.
• Update these reports quickly to keep up with design revisions.

Generate Substation Construction Deliverables

• Produce 2D construction drawings automatically from the 3D substation model.
• Define and publish plan, elevation, and isometric views using configurable drawing templates that promote company standards.
• Eliminate hours of manual updates by simply republishing drawings when design changes occur.
