Task-based engineering
workflow
Smart® Electrical organizes the design process into defined tasks — such as system analysis and load balancing — to increase efficiency and ensure high-quality deliverables.
Integration with Hexagon
and third-party tools
The software integrates seamlessly with Smart® 3D, Smart® Instrumentation, and other tools. An open API allows for connectivity with external platforms to support a collaborative ecosystem.
Project reuse
and standardization
Engineers can import legacy CAD projects and apply company standards and best practices, streamlining design time and reducing operational costs.
Advanced cable and
schedule management
The software offers rapid creation and editing of parallel cables, cableway fill validation, and automatic generation of complex cable schedules.
Support for multiple
electrical load scenarios
Smart® Electrical allows users to define and manage various electrical load scenarios, producing summary reports to optimize design under all conditions.
Automated change
management
Design changes are automatically reflected across documentation. The Engineering Data Editor (EDE) provides a simplified interface for viewing and editing project data.
Advanced reporting
tools
Users can extract detailed project data at any time to generate custom tabular or graphical reports for improved data analysis and decision-making.
