Light calculate software for engineers

Electrical software for engineers

I will put some learning videos for engineers here.The reason i do this is that there are so much wrong info.

If you are an electrical person that use 48 Dc to higher volt Ac, there are the tools i would learn.

Some webpages do not know the difference between any electrical engineers.

I am have my background from high voltage and powerstations.

Amd has be a projectleder from 48 V Dc. And to calculate 440 Volt Ac. This is the normal way. But i also have background on high voltage.

Today i want to show you the tools you might have use from.

1.Dialux

This is a software to calculate the lux for rooms. And electrical engineer have to be able to find the right light. And this you calculate in dialux.

But you need the standard for every room.

This only as an example.

There is standard for every room. Like above

Fitnessroom should have 300 lux.

These standard is in Norway done by https://lyskultur.no/

Most standard can be bought from https://www.standard.no/

 Dialux have many youtube video you can learn from.

Download the software here

https://www.dialux.com/en-GB/

Dialux can be used in Autodesk revit as a plugin.

2.Glamox Optiwin

Import a 3d Model Into Optiwin

This is software to calculate the light in a room.

Download it from here

I will use my blog as a tool for my work. But i share things with others that might have an interested in what i do.

Nowadays i see it is possible to do things in a different way.

And i want to learn others what i did.

Learn anything from your home here

https://www.udemy.com/

Download software and learn it in you own home.

Change your skill level to  what the marked want.

Myself i knew nothing about Autodesk Revit. So here is what i did.

I found some nice course and used youtube and udemy as my teacher.

Then downloaded the tools i needed to learn.

Then trained myself to what a company wanted.

I will post more in this article as i move along.

I wanted to learn Revit because oil and gas companies use this software.

Here is the course i take at Udemy.

There is also other things that you should do. 

- Find a job, check what they want of skills. Find a online course and build you skill up before you apply.

When you come to an interview, you can then show that you have just gone to a course and have the basic skill to do......

I also learn other things in this way.

Demo - Safran Project SRA = Schedule Risk Analysis

Used by oil and gas companies

4. Autodesk Revit Electrical or MEP

This is the best tool i have seen for DAK.I really hate autocad. Because you have to think snap, paperspace,modelspace annd so on. Revit has nothing of this.

So i try to learn myself only this software.

How to create Circuit in Revit MEP 2017. This is a playlist on how to do

But what is possible is to use Autodesk Revit to calculate the lux, as you draw in the light fixture.

Here shown by Learning with Rich.

1. Select space, then

2.

here the lux is shown when you draw a new light fixture.

So then you do not need to run a dialux calculation. But you might transfer your drawing from Revit to dialux.

How to connect your drawing to the power

Create power to the light

- Select one light fixture.

-The go to power press on it.

-Then go edit circuit

Then add the other light fixture to the system.

The click the panel

Then you see all is now connected to the panel

And this is how you do this prosses.

See the video from learning with Rich

5.Magicad

Magicad is an addon to Autodesk revit.

Where you can calculate electrical systrem after you draw.

Here is some video about Magicad

Here is a learning video

There is also a program that i now will learn myself

It is called SMK Powertools. And is used by companies in USA

See link here

https://www.skm.com/

This program can be a plugin for Autodesk Revit. See link here

https://www.skm.com/data-exchange.html

This post i will try to make it more clear what i did. I post as i have a progress myself.

7.Habit Elcad

This is a Norwegian electrical tool for calculate all kinds of electrical system

See on the drawing. If something is not ok. The the line become red. That mean your system has som problem. It can be that you cable has to high voltage drop. Or the fuse is not ok.

I have drwain in this tool most of my time. Where i have made some templete. And i just change the value as i go along. Then i can do my job really fast.

When you are done you get all documents in a great report.

http://www.habit.no

See here you have the whole system in one page.

From high voltage. To transformer. To swithsboard. Then into the house.

I have in fact drawn a whole town in one drawing. The red line show that "this cable has some problem. Might be that the cabel size is to small for that length. Or the fuse not has selectivity.

8.Febdok

This is most used in Norway. But i not like this softare.

And the reason is that drawing is not good enough.

And i like to see the whole system in one page. And can use this when i talk in a meeting. But many use this tool

9.EasyPower Power System Software

10.ETAP

Short Circuit Result Analyzer

Udemy has 2 courses on this

Convert from SKM and EasyPower to ETAP

11. Autocad .

But i think autocad is to old fasion. Autodesk Revit is the one you should learn.

I have learned autocad but if you want to get an mouse arm. The draw in this tool for 1 week.

As a project engineer you need to learn

Jan Hammer sound is now found

So after so many years i finally found out what Jan Hammer was using.

Yamaha DX5 is Jan Hammers famous sound.

And this sound is possible to create with this.

and the sound is : RR DX Keys - Chorused Rhodes
and use reverb

 The tune is made by me. And it was just made to show the sound.

The drum machine i use is same as Mr. Hammer. The Linn LM 1
 

The Magic of Jan Hammer - Secret of Jan Hammer now in Fl Studio

Ever since i was a kid i loved the sounds of Jan hammer.
So i have been searcing for his sounds all this week.And today i will share my finds with you all.

Who is Jan hammer ?

Jan hammer is the sound of Miami Vice and this serie i still think is amazing.Without Jan hammer and his music well do  need to say anything more?

Hear the sounds here:

And on internet there is almost nothng to find how he made his amazing sounds.

I will let you all get same tools as i found.

First you need som studio apps.

Here you find them all.
https://tal-software.com/products/tal-effects

These make the sound be like Jan hammer.

Here is my setup in Fl studio

 








The next ting is we need to find some really old files. (Syx files)
And a plugin that can play syx files.

Jan hammer used these synth
http://equipboard.com/pros/jan-hammer

But i have found out that he used most this one.

And it is this one we going to talk about now.

To run Syx files you need this program.

Dexed

"Dexed is a multi platform, multi format plugin synth that is closely modeled on theYamaha DX7Dexed is also a midi cartridge librarian/manager for the DX7"

Now you need some syx files.
In Dexed it is more sounds then you see right away.

Go to

CART

Then this window come up. But i have more syx files then Dexed come with.
So not look on what you are missing. We are coming to that as we go along.

Here is the files i started with. All thanks to Gonga.

http://danling.com/studio/sounds/DX7%20Original%20Factory%20Patches/

 Download these. And then you put them into dexed

This is were you put it.(I block out my pc name)

Then it looks like this.
OK now we are ready.

 I click on rom1b.syx

 Only to show you. And Sitar will with setup

 Now sounds like Jan Hammer.But try other sounds too.
I found so many sounds that now is the secret of Jan Hammer.

There are more files that you might need. But this setup makes it sound like Jan Hammer always.
 

 Orginal file with Dexed. And you hear Jan Hammer Gitar.

•  Jan hammer sounds come from C1 to C4

 Background sounds is many times.

Memorymoog

I will also talk about another way.
Native Instruments FM 7.

I not have all sounds yet. Reason is that Jan Hammer always used a Keytar and puched the sounds on his keytar.


He also used drum machines.

• LINNDRUM (1982) 
• Simmons SDS8

And Jan was very gentle on drum beats.
Like 1 drum beat and then other sounds as max 2 beats.
Hear the beat is Even.
