Electrical discipline application is a professional electrical design solution focused on design, engineering, modeling, analysis and documentation of facility electrical systems, including power distribution, lighting, fire detection, security, and communications. Moving beyond traditional electrical drafting, Electrical discipline is a revolutionary step forward with object oriented design software, building information modeling of "intelligent" electrical objects, data transparency, workflow flexibility, and interoperability with industry-standard power engineering and lighting analysis programs to seamlessly link design and analysis.

Power distribution equipment, loads, feeder and branch circuiting, and raceways can quickly be placed in 2D and 3D with automated symbol placement, labeling and circuit routing as well as online load calculations for immediate design checks. Clearance envelopes for code compliance and for working space requirements can be defined for equipment and raceway systems. The physical design of raceways is accomplished with tools to place cable trays, busways, conduits, trunking systems, cable baskets, and hangers, with calculation of length, raceway fill, and weight. The Cable Manager makes circuiting and cable routing both transparent and efficient. Labeling, cable lists, board schedules and schematics are produced automatically from the cable management database.

Lighting systems can rapidly laid out with automated symbol insertion from manufacturers' specified libraries with bi-directional interfaces to lighting CAE applications, such as DIALux, Relux, and LTI Lumen Designer. The fire detection module includes libraries of standard fire detection symbols and allows the automated generation of schematic block diagrams, labeling and schedules, as well as online calculations of lengths, and maximum device calculations. Interfaces are provided to CAE modules, such as NFPA 72 (US), BS 5839 (UK), and VDS 2095/VDE 0833 (Germany). The design of building subsystems, such as telecommunications, emergency lighting, European Installation Bus (EIB), LON Field Bus, IT, public address systems, video, nurse call, intruder detection, access control, lighting protection, as well as user defined systems, is also supported.

Electrical discipline supports design functions with comprehensive symbol libraries, e.g. for ANSI/IEEE/NFPA (US), BS (UK), DIN/VDE (Germany), and others. Adaptable to CAD standards, the 2D symbols can be linked to 3D graphics.

• Focus on design with construction documentation an output of the design process
• Rapidly design and model a variety of electrical systems
• Design automation tools for arrangement of equipment and devices
• Integration with industry standard analysis programs eliminating need to re-enter data
• Support "real world" electrical design workflows
• "Intelligent" design data adds value to the supply chain.
