AEROTOOL.CAD IMPROVES THE PLANNING PROCESS WITH A ROBUST PLUG-IN FOR FASTER BALLAST CALCULATIONS, ELECTRICAL PLANNING AND PARTS LISTS ON DEMAND.
Discover all the powerful features for planning in AutoCAD or BricsCAD. A true all-in-one planning solution integrated directly into your favorite CAD system. AEROTOOL.CAD revolutionizes the automated planning of even the largest substructures - taking into account current design criteria and standards according to Eurocode.
THE AEROTOOL.CAD ADVANTAGES:
- Complete substructure and ballast planning
- Export of project reports and ballast plans
- Automated ballasting and anchorage placement
- Energy yield planning with export to PVSyst
- Sun and shading analysis
- 3D building modeling (with Civil 3D) + electrical planning: strings, cable routes, inverters
- Future product integration for all AEROCOMPACT solutions
- Compatible with AutoCAD and BricsCAD
3D BUILDING MODELING
Easily create 3D models of buildings and other objects such as trees, air conditioning systems, skylights, etc. The software optimizes module placement taking into account obstacles and project boundaries to maximize solar potential. You can also set standard distances to different obstacle types to ensure compliance with local building regulations.
TANNING AND SHADING SIMULATION
Simulate the solar irradiation for each individual system - taking into account shade, weather data and site conditions. A threshold value function allows you to automatically exclude modules that do not achieve the required energy performance.
AUTOMATIC BALLAST OPTIMIZATION
Calculate the ballast requirement precisely and visualize the ballast blocks directly in the roof plan - taking into account wind and snow loads as well as earthquake-specific loads and ballast dimensions/weights. An advanced algorithm optimizes ballast distribution for faster installation and efficient use of the permissible roof load. The complete substructure design including calculation can be exported as a PDF, even project sizes in the MW range in a few seconds.
CABLE ROUTE AND INVERTER PLANNING
Create electrical plans including inverter selection from an extensive database - with options such as Y-connectors, MPPs or limiting the number of modules per inverter. Organize cable groups as required and generate a single line diagram (SLD) of the system.
ELECTRICAL PLANNING AND STRINGING
Supports manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic stringing with individual navigation options - adapted to your cabling, row arrangement and wiring. Create visual string plans based on your inverter configuration with just a few clicks.
