QuickSchem TM

Practical, quick and easy...
...QuickSchemTM, the first software for documenting electrical installations

QuickSchemTM is the first software for documenting electrical installations and quickly designing circuit diagrams. It is particularly suited to the Act of October 10, 2001, requiring site managers to document the wiring diagrams for their installations.

The QuickSchemTM creation process is especially simple and natural. Diagrams are designed by assembling the circuits available in the library. Choose a type of circuit and the nominal rating (power, current, etc.). The circuit is then generated and placed in the overall wiring diagram. You can go back at any time and make changes to a circuit. When you have finished, all that remains is to produce the singe-line diagram folios by tables in DWG format, create a PDF version or export it to Trace Elec Pro.

QuickSchemTM contains a wealth of features to reduce the time required to create diagrams: insert multiple circuits, copy and paste, and import all or part of a project. The Undo and Redo commands are also available, enabling users to work with complete confidence.

With just one screen, users have a complete view of the tools and their project: choice of circuits, cross-over management, and so on. The software gives users quick access to information, while allowing maximum space for viewing the project. The overall wiring diagram is managed automatically and changes to reflect the creation of new circuits.

The circuit creation process features three stages:
(1) Choose a circuit from the library.
(2) Edit the circuit and enter the specifications.
(3) Add the circuit to the overall wiring diagram.
Let's have a closer look at the different phases.

Circuit library
The first stage involves choosing a library of pre-recorded circuits, depending on the type of installation to be designed. To ensure ever greater productivity, users can manage as many libraries as required. The libraries contain the most frequently encountered circuits for a given type of installation.

When entering a circuit, users can also create a circuit from scratch by assembling the symbols and then placing the circuit in the current library.

Each library has a tree-structured sort system, where the standard circuits can easily be found. After an initial choice has been made in the list, circuits are chosen graphically to speed up the process. All that remains is to choose a set of standard values suited to the circuit created.

The circuits placed in the library may be highly extensive and contain the cable specifications and OEM references for the different components. Once the circuit has been selected, users can edit all or part of the values and references.

 
The circuit editor
The circuit selected in the library is placed in the QuickSchemTM editor, where users can enter the specifications for the selected circuit. They can take advantage of the pre-recorded information in the library's circuits and add or change the data to suit project requirements. They can also graphically modify the circuit by adding or changing symbols.

The circuit editor contains an input help tool, a built-in symbol library, access to the cable libraries and different OEM catalogues.

A modified circuit can be stored in the current library. Your library gradually expands as your project progresses, without any additional work. Once defined, the circuit is added to the overall wiring diagram in one or more copies.

Icon library
The icon library can be accessed from the circuit editor and is used to modify circuits for the current project. A modified circuit can be saved and added to the circuit library.

Material and cable catalogues
QuickSchemTM is supplied with complete OEM catalogues. Trace Elec Pro users can use the product's catalogues directly, even if they have already modified them. Devices or cables are chosen in the OEM catalogues or entered in the field provided.

Choosing equipment in the OEM catalogues
 
Geographic location of electrical objects
All electrical objects in the project can be geolocated. A wizard helps to describe the site's organization. In the circuit editor, users call the geographic axis and locate the electrical object by placing it directly in the required position in the axis.

Producing the single-line diagram
The final aim in using QuickSchemTM is to generate the different single-line diagram folios corresponding to the installation created. The single-line diagrams are generated automatically in QuickSchemTM and can printed.
Using Trace Elec Pro you will be able to import QuickSchem project.
Trace Elec Pro opens up all the features available in this software: generating terminal boards, bills of materials, cable lists, and much more as well as export QuickSchem project as DWG files.
