NanoCAD BIM SCS

Main article: CAD Computer-aided design systems

The nanoCAD SCS software product is intended for computer-aided design of structured cable systems (SCS) of buildings and structures for various purposes. nanoCAD SCS is a working tool for designing cable sewerage systems and structured cable systems, telephony.

2020: nanoCAD SCS 20.0

Nanosoft On October 30, 2020, the company "" presented the next version of the software product nanoCAD SCS for automation of building design structured cable systems , as well as cable-carrying systems.

nanoCAD SCS 20.0

Starting with the 20th version of nanoCAD, SCS becomes a separate program with installation on nanoCAD Plus, so that it can be used in conjunction with the nanoCAD SPDS module.

Among the main innovations of version 20.0:

• the templates of reporting documents have been changed, it has become possible to automatically fill in the approval stamp;
• added the ability to display a leader with space properties;
• added the ability to customize the export profile to IFC in accordance with the requirements of the Moscow State Expert Review.

2013: nanoCAD SCS 5.1

On December 10, 2013, Nanosoft announced the release of a new version of the nanoCAD SCS 5.1 PP.

Description of innovations:

• support for the DWG2013 format is implemented;
• Improved command line
• improved navigation in three-dimensional space;
• The Quick Select command has been significantly enhanced.

Together with the new platform, users receive specialized functionality of the software product:

• Full experience with 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8
• New design of the main SCS toolbar
• Automatic detection of closed loop spaces, the ability to import spaces from ArchiCAD and from nanoCAD SPDS
• The master of laying the SPS with modal mode has been replaced with four separate commands with a floating window and the ability to change parameters during laying, reading parameters from previously laid SPS;
• The Far Link Wizard has been removed, the Riser Master has been added instead, which allows you to check the correctness of combining riser sections into the general structure of the riser and monitoring the heights of the horizontal alignment on floors;
• a lot of work has been done to optimize the use of RAM and improve performance when working with large projects.

2011: nanoCAD SCS 3.0

Version 3.0 is based on the nanoCAD platform, which optimizes many functions, and is also equipped with support for the DWG 2010 format. As of April 2011, nanoCAD SCS has a specially designed interface in which graphics tools are precisely selected and configured to quickly master the work in the system. The program also includes tools for performing the necessary calculations when selecting equipment, databases of various equipment manufacturers, and much more.

In general, the software product allows you to solve such problems as: consolidation of information on the project; creation of a system of cable channels; design of horizontal subsystem, main subsystem of the building; design of floor and building distribution points, main cables and building telephony marshals; automatic routing of cables; automatic preparation of reporting documents (specification, cable logs, layout diagrams of installation structures, structural diagram).

According to the developers, nanoCAD SCS 3.0 is distinguished by increased functionality in the design of SCS. In addition, improved tools for working with cable-carrying systems, cable routing tables, CSR tables, creating a 3D view of the system and much more. At the same time, the presence of its own graphics core makes nanoCAD SCS independent of other graphics systems, while support for the DWG format contributes to the exchange of information with neighbors and customers, the company emphasized.

Among the capabilities of nanoCAD SCS version 3.0 can also be noted: automatic formation of sections with a leader filling trays; Set section labels for trays Alignment orientation that automatically determines the angle type, internal or external, for conduits Connect Objects by Route and Connect Object and Route Perpendicular conduit tools Additional reporting document - a table of schematic symbols generated both for the entire project and for each floor; additional reporting document - cable routing table generated for both the horizontal subsystem and the main subsystem of the building; 3D view of cable-carrying system and equipment can be created; possibility of multiple installation of equipment designations from the CSU base; possibility of limiting filling of ducts and pipes both along the cross section of cables and by the number of cables laid in the channel.

As before, version nanoCAD SCS 3.0 will be distributed according to two sales schemes: subscription and box. The cost of the subscription is 17 thousand rubles, the cost of the boxed version is 60.5 thousand rubles. For the owners of existing nanoCAD SCS subscriptions, the transition to version 3.0 of the program is free. You can get a license for the new version in your personal account. For owners of the boxed version, the cost of the update is 18,150 rubles. You can also download the demo version of nanoCAD SCS 3.0 on the website nanocad.ru.

2010: Key capabilities and scope

Summary of the main features of nanoCAD SCS (as of September 2010):

• Equipment specification automatically generated and unloaded according to GOST (download example)
• Three types of cable logs are automatically generated and unloaded according to GOST (download example);
• Automatically generated layout diagram of installation constructs (download example);
• Automatically generated structural diagram of building cable system connections (download example);
• Filling of mounting structures with panels in automatic mode based on the number of workstation ports;
• Automatically placed leaders of workplace markings;
• Automatic re-marking of equipment displayed in marking callouts and reporting documents in case of various changes in the project;
• Project manager, which allows you to fully consolidate information on the entire project;
• Working with databases of SCS equipment manufacturers;
• All equipment databases are open for editing;
• The CSU base is open for editing and adding new symbols;
• Creating a system of cable channels of almost any complexity;
• Automatic selection and counting of connecting elements of cable channels (corners, branches, etc.), as well as attachment units for trays;
• Calculation of cable channels capacity based on the quantity of cable laid;
• Creation of horizontal subsystem and building trunk subsystem connections (download example);
• Route the cable, both horizontally and vertically, as well as between floors located in different DWG files;
• Setting additional factors for cable counting for the entire project, as well as individual adjustment of cable length for the horizontal subsystem;

• The ability to select software when uploading deliverables - Microsoft Office or OpenOffice.org;
• Allows you to select units for cables and conduits when output to a schedule.

Scope

Specialized software nanoCAD SCS - a tool that allows you to increase labor efficiency in the design of structured cable systems, on the slang of designers - "weak points." The presence of its own graphics core makes nanoCAD SCS independent of other graphics systems, support for the DWG format helps to exchange information with neighbors and customers.

As of September 2010, nanoCAD SCS combines a specially designed interface, precisely selected and customized graphical display tools, as well as tools for performing the necessary calculations during equipment selection.

Software Product nanoCAD SCS allows you to solve the following problems:

• consolidation of project information;
• creation of a system of cable channels;
• horizontal subsystem design;
• design of the building main subsystem;
• design of floor and building distribution points;
• design of trunk cables and building telephony marshals;
• automatic routing of cables;
• automatic preparation of reporting documents (specification, cable logs, layout diagrams of installation structures, structural diagram).
