AECOSim Electrical in the UK

Hello there

Is there ANYONE out there actually using the 'Electrical' module/tools in AECOSim Connect (update 4 at our end)?

Particularly in the UK?

Would like to hear from you as we are not really getting to grips with it

Regards

  • Hi Danny,

    Long time no see.

    I think it was used on some recent Network Rail jobs, by Emico. Initially using U4, and subsequently U6 due to some bugs.

    On the Northern Line Extension, V8i was used but there was a lot of disatisfaction. Bentley suggested moving to BRCM.

    There was a rumour that the Electrical was going to be re-written by Siemens. I believe the existing code is by another German company called Elcosoft.  There were also some questions about whether Hevacomp's Nimbus would also be migrated over with the rest of Hevacomp's functionality, but I think that this was kicked into the long grass.

    What are the problems you are experiencing?

    If it is printing and elements going AWOL, it may be a unit precision / SWA problem. This was a known issue on V8i. I doubt it was correctedly for CE.
