Fast and flexible trench design - for everyone
Plan and design complex cable trenches. Run advanced simulations of thermal resistivity and magnetic field using Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Grøft Design Features
The Grøft Design® Software makes it easy to plan and design complex cable trenches. Design the trench cross-section directly in the browser and export quantity calculations of back filling and cables. Run advanced finite element simulations of thermal resistivity and magnetic field for the trench cross-section.
Easy Drawing of Complex Infrastructure
Plan and design your trench quickly. In Grøft Design® you get access to a large library of predefined cables, and other elements that go in your trench. Quickly try out different designs.
Design your own cables in the Cable Designer and combine cables, fiber optics, district heating and water and sewage in the same trench. Built in support for concrete duct bank and more.
Thermal Calculation and Magnetic field
Experiment with different trench designs and verify the design with physical simulation. Using finite element analysis (FEA) Grøft Design® can simulate complex trenches with ease.
Verify that the magnetic field is within the limits with physical simulation using finite element modelling.
Backed by Research
Grøft Design® has been developed by REN have together with SINTEF, Norway's leading research center on power systems, developed and verified the simulations in Grøft Design® with experiments in the field.
