Caneco BIM new features
Caneco BIM
Caneco BIM is a Revit® plugin that allows electrical information to be exchanged between a digital model and the Caneco software range.
It enriches a project by providing all the properties required to build an electrical installation.

Main new features of Caneco BIM 2023

Room exchange, Illuminance calculation, Creation of luminaires, Parameter sets shared with important concepts from DIALux Evo, etc

Creation of cable routing points in paths & creation of cable output point from a path

Caneco BIM 2023 is compatible with the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 versions of Revit®.
Caneco 2023 - all new features

Caneco BIM 2023 within the BIMelec solution
Caneco BIM 2023 is integrated into the new BIMelec solution and is a complement to the 2023 versions of Caneco Implantation and Caneco BT.
Caneco BIM 2023 and Revit®
Caneco BIM 2023 is compatible with the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 versions of Revit®.
Cable calculation engine version 2
• Suitable for complex models with multiple distributions and cable path systems
• Up to 90% faster processing time
• Example on a project with 10,000 cables and 10,000 cable trays: Reduction of processing time from 30 minutes to 3 minutes i.e. 90% time reduction
New export
New export in CSV format of the following elements:
• Terminal devices
• Cable trays
• Distributions
• Circuits
• Rooms
• Cables
Bi-directional dialogue with DIALux Evo
Bi-directional dialogue with DIALux Evo:
• Room exchange
• Illuminance calculation
• Creation of luminaires (*)
• Parameter sets shared with important concepts from DIALux Evo (*)
• Installation of new luminaires, updating and replacement during iterative calculations (*)
*Requires the export option to CSV format in DIALux Evo
Multi-source – Macro-source
Improved multi-source processing:
• Caneco BIM allows you to define up to 6 sources in parallel without the need to connect them
• These sources are supported by Caneco BT with their operating mode
Example:
• 3 sources installed, operating mode min 1 and max 2
• The Caneco BT sizing takes this parameter into account
Advanced routing and wiring functions
New functions for routing cables in paths and terminal devices wiring in a circuit:
• Creation of cable routing points in paths
• Creation of cable output point from a path
Caneco BIM Launcher
Complete redesign of the Caneco BIM and Caneco Implantation application launcher:
• Creation of a launching profile for a product
• Licence configuration test
• Support for Caneco BIM 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024
• Update notification
Reorganization of ribbons
Improved general ergonomics by integrating the new functions of 2023 version:
• Caneco BIM: Grouping the Wire and CBIM Data functions in Calculation and Display
• Caneco Tools: Grouping of Caneco Analysis, Caneco Openings and Database
• Path: Old Size ribbon renamed
• Wiring: Old Wire ribbon, also includes the new wiring functions
• Routing: New ribbon
Miscellaneous
• General improvements in performance and minor corrections.
• Corrected path altitudes for the cables in the supply circuits of the distributions.
• Added technical documentation for starting a new project.
• Increased number of characters for circuit marks to 25 characters.
• Added function to delete a circuit in the Caneco browser

Caneco 2022 - features
Improved exchanges between Caneco BIM and Caneco BT
Support for multiple sources from Revit to Caneco BT.
Integration into Revit of the notion of Normal – Backup for sources and distributions and downstream powered circuits.
Automated creation of a synoptic of high and low currents
Automatically generate synoptics from Revit's electrical systems.
Caneco BIM allows you to obtain different synoptics such as:
• Power synoptic with only distributions
• Power synoptic with all or part of the high current circuits of your project
• Synoptic of your low current installation, fire alarm, computer, etc.
Customize labels & symbols by replacing them with your own.
Production of new technical documents
Automated creation of a cable book and a cable pull book.
You will find in HTML or CSV format all the characteristics of the cables, such as their length, their path, their refmark and all their crossing points.
These technical documents can be used in your Excel spreadsheets or by using your own CSV file templates to change the format.
By combining the automated routing of the cables and their calculation, you have the possibility to edit a cable path cutting book to know at each section the exact content of the cables that pass through them such as the congestion of the cables, their layout, the circuits present...
Improved pathway cable tray's content
Now view the contents of a cable tray section: the circuits present, their technical data, their congestion.
General features of Caneco BIM
Key Features
A digital collaborative platform
• Caneco BIM performs the exchange of electrical data between Revit®, and the rest of the BIMelec solution
• It enables the import of the positioning and the references of lighting features from Dialux®.
Sizing of an electrical installation
• Caneco BIM enriches the digital model with the results of calculations carried out in Caneco BT, such as cable cross-sections, protective devices and short-circuits
• Model and calculate the busbar trunking systems
• It performs automated cable routing inside Revit®
• Calculate cable tray footprint rates
• Size cable trays
Complementary applications
• Additional tools will help you control and validate your electrical installation in your model
• Caneco BIM allows the import of the cable types, as they are described in Caneco BT, directly into Revit®
• It analyses the objects and groups of objects and adds electrical parameters such as voltage, apparent load, load class, etc.
• Create your electrical circuits with advanced tools
Integrated electrical calculation boxes
• Caneco BIM converts electro-technical units
• It also calculates the react power of condenser batteries
Advantages
Multiple data entry operations avoided:
Caneco BIM allows you to work just as well in Revit® as in AutoCAD® thanks to its communication interfaces.
Security and compliance:
Caneco BIM guarantees the compliance of your digital electrical model with the applicable standards, thanks to its interface with Caneco BT.
Optimization of work:
The numerous integrated utilities allow an optimized project.
Time saving:
