Concentrate on the essential with SIMARIS® design basic
It has never been easy to dimension a power distribution system for buildings. But it has never
been more complex than today. To empower you with the best assets in the existing market
situation, Siemens supports you with an excellent software tool. SIMARIS design basic is a
dimensioning tool for power distribution systems in commercial, industrial and institutional
buildings – from medium voltage to the wall outlet. With this tool electrical networks can be
dimensioned automatically with a minimum of manual entries. So you will have more time for
the actual specifi cation of your concept.
Why is it so easy?
The handling and the user interface is very simple and it will not take you long to get the idea of how
SIMARIS design basic works. Thanks to its convenient network editing and graphics display functions,
SIMARIS design basic can be used without the slightest effort. From its contents, this tool offers a scope
of functionality that facilitates dimensioning considerably. In the planning stage you can dimension the
entire supply circuit with SIMARIS design basic on the basis of real products. In the implementation stage,
this helps to avoid extra costs arising from badly coordinated systems. Suitable components and distribu-
tion systems are selected automatically. You can focus on what’s important and needn’t hunt for product
data in a stack of catalogues. Every confi guration of an electric power distribution is subject to many
changes and adaptations both in the planning and in the implementation stage. SIMARIS design basic
integrates each modifi cation into the supply concept and automatically checks it for compliance with the
relevant standards and regulations. As a last step a comfortable documentation helps you to succeed with
your power distribution projects.
Easy, fast and safe dimensioning
Fast implementation
SIMARIS design basic speeds up your entire planning process by taking over a great variety of com-
plex calculations. It helps you to minimize the time for equipment selection and sizing. The prod-
ucts required for configuration are automatically selected – this saves you time-consuming research
in catalogues – input errors are quickly corrected, and modifications easily integrated in the whole
dimensioning process. Consequently, your engineering expense for the overall planning of power
distribution system is reduced. Since the complete project can easily be exported to a RTF, PDF or
DXF fi le (network graphics, equipment parts lists, selectivity diagrams), you‘ll fi nish in no time. Work-
ing with SIMARIS design basic is so easy that this also saves you an enormous amount of time – see
for yourself how fast you’ll have your network graphics created.
Safe result
Based on the requirements of the specific power distribution system, SIMARIS design basic safely
and reliably dimensions a system solution from a broad product portfolio, in compliance with all
relevant standards and reflecting the present state of technology. Thanks to a configuration with
real product parameters, projects planned with SIMARIS design basic can be implemented safely.
Those consultants who choose to plan with SIMARIS design basic prepare themselves with the opti-
mum. Should any questions about dimensioning with SIMARIS design basic arise, don’t hesitate to
contact your Siemens area representative. You can find his name on www.siemens.com/sdbasic

Totally Integrated Power™: integrated power distribution from medium voltage to the wall outlet. Totally Integrated Power
is based on integration in planning and confi guring electrical net-
works, on matched interface-optimized products and systems, as well
as on communication and software modules for the power distribu-
tion systems’ connectivity to industrial automation and building ser-
vices automation. SIMARIS design basic is the core of this platform
concept for integrated dimensioning of power distribution in com-
mercial, industrial and institutional buildings. To sum up: Totally
Integrated Power gives advantages to everyone involved in the
project: to you, the electrical consultant, and to the investors,
installing engineers and users.
