July 27, 2010 – Bentley Systems released the V8i (SELECTseries 3) version of Bentley Substation, the first intra-operable software for intelligent electrical and physical substation design. Bentley Substation empowers project teams to design substations 30 percent faster than they typically can with non-integrated applications. The software’s single interface for substation design and the common intelligent information model enable users to design more precisely, generate accurate bills of material, create drawings quickly and efficiently, and rigorously enforce company standards. At the same time, Bentley Substation’s integration with ProjectWise collaboration services provides superior engineering content management and team collaboration that support the entire substation design workflow. The release, which has been streamlined for the single purpose of substation design and management, offers:

  • expanded integration with ProjectWise, enhancing project team collaboration and increasing productivity;
  • broad interoperability and data reuse via new support for i-models (containers for open infrastructure information exchange), facilitating ease of review and markup;
  • improved model visualization using dynamic views that enable users to work in 2D or 3D views simultaneously, making the design process much more productive;
  • access to an expanded library of 3D objects and industry-standard 2D symbols, speeding design and improving information exchange;
  • ease of installation and use, resulting in low start-up and administration costs. Bentley Substation V8i (SELECTseries 3) leverages Bentley‚Äôs technology platform, a comprehensive set of drawing, modeling, and data services that provides a robust environment for 2D and 3D design. Because the platform can produce drawings in both DGN and DWG file formats, Bentley Substation‚Äôs many advantages have now been extended to substation design departments employing AutoCAD.The expanded integration of Bentley Substation with ProjectWise:
  • saves design teams significant time and further increases productivity by supporting the creation of substation projects from within ProjectWise Explorer;
  • reduces errors and fosters more collaborative workflows by facilitating the synchronization of project files and project databases;
  • provides faster access to data about parts used in a design through the software‚Äôs support of the ProjectWise component tree;
  • helps users quickly find the right data in the right version by enabling report outputs and project backups to be stored in ProjectWise;
  • provides enhanced flexibility by allowing users to rename or delete projects, as well as rename, delete, copy and paste, or move pages in ProjectWise Explorer. The software‚Äôs new ability to generate i-models, which combine 2D and 3D geometry and other design data in a single lightweight container, further facilitates open information exchange. Every i-model includes provenance ‚Äì that is, knowledge of its origin and evolution, or change management history ‚Äì and is self-describing, which means source application logic isn‚Äôt required to display or describe the data stored within them. Because i-models are widely reusable, they enable project teams to easily reference, repurpose, and republish content for broad information access. For example, substation design teams can now use Bentley‚Äôs Navigator V8i dynamic collaboration software, which leverages the rich information stored inside i-models, to explore complex designs, query business data, and provide markup comments.Finally, the addition of dynamic views to Bentley Substation V8i gives users the ability to slice and filter 3D models, remove clutter from the working view, and drop and drag plans and sections to create documentation. Dynamic views also automate 2D updates for full drawing package coordination, saving time spent on coordinating plan sets, improving the quality of deliverables, and simplifying the 3D modeling experience.A growing number of users around the world are taking advantage of Bentley Substation‚Äôs many benefits. Among them are CPS Energy; ENMAX; ETSA Utilities; Iberdrola; Northwest Electrical Power Design Institute, a division of China Power Engineering Consulting Group; State Nuclear Electrical Power Planning Design and Research Institute, a division of the State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation, Ltd.; and TransGrid.

In Bentley Substation CE Update5 we introduced the ability to select unique phase levels for cables or bus so that they can easily be distinguished for clash detection purposes.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. Click Insert Cable/Bus Object 3D Design, select a cable, and click Insert to initiate the cable placement.

Alternative Steps to Accomplish

The Properties Control allows you to set a ‘Phase’ property which can be applied to any cable / bus that you insert while the Properties Control is running. The Phase you set in the Properties Control will drive the default Phase level in the Cable / Bus Placement Options dialog.

  1. Click 3D design -> Properties control and set the ‘Phase’ Property to the desired phase.

  5. Specify the Sag and other desired settings and then Click OK to the Cable/Bus Object Settings dialog to complete the placement.

Note: If you want to visualize the phases in different colors you can set different colors for the levels or utilize the Thematic Manager.
