AVEVA Marine – Cable Design

AVEVA Marine – Cable Design is a module used for 3D cable routing and management, helping engineers lay out electrical systems with accuracy and efficiency in complex marine environments.

It integrates closely with AVEVA Electrical and AVEVA Outfitting, ensuring that all electrical design is coordinated, clash-free, and optimized for construction.

🔑 Key Features

  1. 3D Cable Routing
    • Route cables from source to destination using predefined cable trays or directly through compartments.
    • Cables follow realistic paths, obeying bend radii and other physical constraints.
  2. Integration with AVEVA Electrical
    • Syncs with AVEVA Electrical to import:
      • Cable list
      • Equipment connections
      • Cable types and specs
    • Ensures that routing matches electrical system logic.
  3. Cable Trays & Penetrations
    • Works with the Cable Tray module to place cables inside trays.
    • Recognizes bulkhead penetrations, supports, and sealing requirements.
  4. Automated Cable Length Calculation
    • Accurately calculates real-world cable lengths based on 3D routing.
    • Helps with procurement and minimizes cable waste.
  5. Clash Detection
    • Identifies conflicts between cable routes and other systems (e.g., pipes, structure).
    • Reduces costly changes during construction.
  6. Grouping & Routing Rules
    • Cables can be grouped by voltage, purpose (power, control, communication), or fire zones.
    • Follows user-defined routing preferences and safety regulations.
  7. Documentation & Reports
    • Generates:
      • Cable routing reports
      • Cable cutting lists
      • Cable tray fill analysis
      • Installation drawings

🚢 Why It’s Important in Marine Projects

Marine environments are complex, and poor cable management can cause:

  • Installation issues
  • Overheating
  • Safety hazards
  • Maintenance nightmares

AVEVA Marine Cable Design ensures:

  • Smart space usage
  • Compliance with marine standards (e.g., IEC, SOLAS)
  • Easy integration with electrical, structural, and outfitting systems

📦 Part of a Larger Ecosystem

AVEVA Marine Cable Design works seamlessly with:

  • AVEVA Electrical (for schematics and circuit design)
  • AVEVA Cable Tray (for tray layout)
  • AVEVA Outfitting (for structural and spatial coordination)

This allows a fully integrated electrical design workflow, from conceptual diagrams to real-world 3D routing.
