Automatic Cable Routing System Interfaces with Popular
CAD Systems

CSA's approach to electrical raceway and cable design system recognizes the time constraints of cable design---the cable design for most medium and large projects must be completed within a few months.


Although the power cable design is finalized at an early stage of engineering, the slowly evolving design of the control / signal circuitry and choice of device locations places pressure on the cable routing team to complete their work on schedule. Given these conditions, an effective cable design must be able to:



- make a "best guess" raceway design based upon preliminary information



- then be able to quickly make changes as final information becomes available.



In addition, CSA's approach recognizes that engineers will organize their design data using spreadsheets or databases for the cable list and 2D drawings or 3D models
that contain the civil/structural/mechanical/ electrical design.



CSA's technology imports the data from external electronic lists and CAD systems to establish one integrated model to provide input for cable routing and a graphical review of the results.



The basic concept behind the effectiveness of CSA's system is the ability to automatically route cables and make changes to routes for many cables in a short period of time. The results are then reported and displayed to provide the information necessary to make raceway design modifications.
