Optimize the design of conduit runs for more efficient and accurate fabrication.

The Building Information Modeling (BIM) process is still new to many electrical contractors. BendWorks® Software was designed to help electrical contractors adopt this new process easily. BendWorks® Software allows smooth information transferring between 3D electrical modelers and the electrical prefabrication shop or foreman on the jobsite. BendWorks® Software is a first of its kind add-in software application for Autodesk® Revit® and Revit® MEP that helps designers more efficiently optimize electrical conduit runs. BendWorks® Software ensures that all conduit runs are error-free and export-ready for prefabrication or on-site bending with most Greenlee benders, saving time and reducing cost for the electrical contractor. Covered by one or more of the following U.S. Patent Nos. 8886348, 9298180, and 9886024

INSPIRED BY LEAN CONSTRUCTION Developed in Collaboration with Leading National Contractors

"Bendworks has bridged the gap between coordination and prefabrication and has become the much needed missing piece that allows our field electricians to return to being installers" - Greg Cummins, BIM Coordinator, Schuler - Haas

Error Checking

Verifies design against conduit bending rules and the Greenlee bender-specific parameters including:

• Four types of error checking; setting, pre-process, process, & warning
• Color code error conduits per error type
• Adjust maximum bend angles and total distance of conduit run

• Minimum bend radii

• Back-to-back minimum distance between bends

• Tail-end minimum distance

• Auto-ranging of conduit diameters by bender

• Maximum 360° of bends per run

Material Optimization

• Updated logic that maximizes conduit utillization
• Automatically align couplings for normal, staggered or in-line style
• Able to line up couplings in parallel run by using 'Align couplings'
• Added minimum conduit length information
• Optimizes conduit runs for fewest cuts and segments

Waste Reduction

•  Offer split conduit logic that makes jobsite installation easier
• Reduces the conduit bone pile and workflow inefficiencies 

Bill of Material Accuracy

• Save manual and machine files in separate locations
• Input the coupling gap information
• Provides output files of required conduit length and removes guesswork from conduit bill of material

Quality Control and Assurance

• Retains run information automatically during changes
• Details output of conduit segments with unique identification for traceability on the jobsite

Automated Calculations for Bending Operator

• Provide two conduit cut valves in output files
• Greenlee bender-specific output files provide bending instructions and reduce operator error 

Fully Integrated with Autodesk® Revit® and Revit® MEP

• Supports collaboration between multiple design users, and allowing for compatibility back and forth between Autodesk® Revit® and BendWorks™
