From Empty to Routed

End-to-end walkthrough of the routing workflow.

  1. Start with the CSV/XLSX templates and populate them with your project data.
  2. Import the cable and raceway schedules into the app's Cable Schedule and Raceway Schedule pages.
  3. Analyze underground configurations in Ductbank, then verify tray capacity with Tray Fill.
  4. Check individual conduits using Conduit Fill.
  5. Generate paths on the Optimal Cable Route page to complete the process.

This sequence builds a project from scratch and produces routed cables ready for export.

Corrosion Design Check

When your design mixes metals (for example aluminum tray and stainless hardware), run the Dissimilar Metals Corrosion Reference to estimate galvanic severity by environment and identify mitigation options before finalizing materials. Common assembly presets seed typical material pairs, area ratios, exposure duty, and protection assumptions in a compact study setup workspace, with method notes and detailed assumptions available only when expanded. The results dashboard shows severity, rate, allowance life, compatibility drivers, recommended actions, isolation comparisons, and the corrosion timeline with optional thickness inputs and inspection milestones. Use the copy-summary or JSON download actions when you need to hand the screening result to a project record or reviewer.

Working with Cable Typicals

Cable typicals capture the construction, ampacity, and routing defaults for reusable designs. To add one, fill in a cable row, open the Cable Library, and choose Save Typical. Give the entry a unique name and any populated fields become part of the template.

Include manufacturer and model information in the typical form so the catalog reference is always available when you insert the design into a project.

Use the same library to drop a typical into the schedule or to edit it later. The Use Typical menu in the row editor and the batch actions above the table both apply templates without overwriting any values you've already confirmed.

Loading the sample data seeds a few starter typicals so you can see the workflow in action. Customize them to match your standards, then export the schedule or save the project to preserve the shared library.
