Frame selection to determine the removal direction, Reset plan to automatically prompt the quantity of missing and supplementary items, combining manual and automatic methods, multiple new features accelerate the speed of electrical connection divide

Electrical connection divide occupies a considerable amount of workload in design work. Fully automatic divide sometimes makes it difficult to obtain ideal results. In the 3.8.2 version of Candela3D software, the following new functions have been added to help users speed up the process of electrical connection divide: 1. Press Frame selection to confirm the direction of removal 1) Select "Continuously dividing" and "Frame selection orientation (up/down)" 2) When selecting by box, the corresponding removal type is: 1: Down right, 2: Down left, 3: Up right, 4: Down left When selecting by box, the orientation is left/right, and the corresponding removal type is: 1: bottom right, 2: bottom left, 3: top right, 4: top left The operation video is as follows: 2. Reset plan automatically tips the quantity needed for replenishment 2) When the software adopts the Automatic equalization Type, it automatically prompts the quantity of strings that should be…

Automatic wiring is a very time-consuming design task and also a difficult point in software development. Regarding the implementation algorithm for the automatic wiring, if readers can propose innovative ideas, please leave a comment below the article, and we will contact you. In version 3.8.2, we have optimized this feature as follows: 1. Users can choose the number of columns to split 2. More potential solutions have been added, and the sorting algorithm has been optimized 3. Optimized the automatic direction division for some alignment projects

Place arrays on Terrace

When arranging PV arrays on terraced fields, the orientation of each array is not exactly the same, and effective connection between adjacent arrays is required, which significantly increases the difficulty of design. Candela3D software has improved the layout of terraced fields in version 3.8. Users can choose to arrange them with a back slope or facing south, or follow the prompts to arrange them all; For areas with poor automatic layout effect, users can manually draw the layout centerline for layout. The layout effect is as follows: 1. Arrange Selected PV zones 2. Fill all 3. Manual placing

Array Statistics by Pitch

Pitch is one of the key aspects in the review of item design. For photovoltaic projects with complex terrain, reviewers often require designers to provide an array count table by pitch for the items. This feature can facilitate the quick completion of this task. 1. Calculate Array pitch Select "Array analysis" → Statistics by pitch, the pitch between each array is clear at a glance. 2. Pitch Count Array Right-click menu →Count, where you can customize the start number, end number, and interval for counting, and even edit the counting range yourself. 3. Export Excle table

Sub-item control separately, exporting contour lines, exporting slope analysis colors – upgrading the Export dwg function

Since version 3.8.2, Candela3D software has undergone multiple updates and upgrades to its Export dwg function: 1. Itemized control of exported content Detailed Export option are provided, and Export contents can be customized as required. 2. Export contour lines It is primarily used for downloading terrain generated from satellite data, or terrain after site leveling. In the aforementioned settings, check the box for "Generate contour lines from terrain". After setting the contour interval, export the c2c file, and then use the accompanying CAD plugin to generate the contour lines. 3. Export Slope analysis Color It is primarily used for exporting color layers from slope analysis of terrains, including user-defined interval analyses of aspect, natural slope, N-S slope, and E-W slope coloring layers. In the aforementioned settings, check the "Slope analysis color" option. After exporting c2c, use the accompanying CAD plugin to generate it.

Automatically Generate dual-line roads from complex single-line roads based on the turning radius

The turning radius of a road refers to the minimum curve radius reserved for vehicle turning in road design. Its size mainly depends on the type of road, use, and vehicle requirements, and usually varies within a specific range to ensure safe and smooth passage. When designing the roads in a photovoltaic field, if the road centerline can be chamfered automatically according to the set turning radius, and corresponding dual-line roads can be generated, a significant amount of work can be saved. ‌ Candela3D software has conducted in-depth research on the automatic chamfering function for roads in version 3.8.0. Below, we will introduce it in conjunction with typical application scenarios. 1. Branch off from the existing non-circular road to form a T-junction 2. Branch off from the existing circular road to form a T-junction 3. Add horizontal and vertical roads in the middle of the circular road 4. Connect two…

Export the colors of mountains and hill-shading analysis to CAD

Terrain and sunlight analysis results are very important for site selection. 《Mountain Analyze – User-defined Shading Analysis》 describes that Candela3D software currently supports users to color in multi-dimensional and User defined intervals. Candela3D software starts from version 3.8 and supports Export of Analyse results to cad, with bright colors and no jamming. The main Step are as follows: 1. Done mountains and hill-shading analysis 2. Export c2c file 3. Generate Color in CAD

Find the posts / columns with abnormal length

In the process of photovoltaic power station modeling, if the Pile length of Array is too short, Array will be partially embedded into mountains in Model; If it is too Length, the structure is unstable; However, if the pile length difference of the same Array is too large, it may indicate that the Array layout is arranged to span poor Terrain such as scarps or mountains. The new version of Candela3D has added the Pile length Find function. Through the function , the Array that does not meet the requirements can be efficiently and accurately screened from multiple dimensions. Below is a function demonstration: 1. Fixed post - Find columns - Single post 2. Fixed post - Find columns - Double post 3. Fixed column length - Find posts - Single post 4. Fixed column length - Find posts - Double post
