HELIOS 3D Update 2024.0.1.7 Release !

+ New: Significant improvement when working from home via VPN. The first start of a drawing now loads all database entries and caches them temporarily. This should make work much faster.
+ New: Civil3D can now also be started directly via a desktop shortcut that includes the Helios3D profile without having to start the Helios3D database application first. All drawings that are entered in the database can then be opened directly via AutoCAD.
+ New: The project and component management can now be called up on the new “Modules” ribbon page. All drawings can be opened in the project management.
+ New: The PV tables can now be displayed in different versions as 2D polylines. In addition to the previous “Module area” version, the “Substructure area” can now also be displayed. Also new is the option to display all modules individually.

Accurate Terrain Mapping:

Employs detailed digital terrain data (TIN surface) for precise solar rack placement, ensuring terrain accuracy without surface interpolation, crucial for project authenticity.

Precise Local Grading:

Utilizes high-precision local grading under each solar rack, reducing earthwork and optimizing resource use, with user-defined tolerances for "Cut" and "Fill."

Comprehensive Electrical Layout:

Seamlessly integrates all electrical components, from solar modules to grid connection, for efficient planning and calculation of electrical parameters like voltage drop and power loss.

Precise Calculations for Cables and Losses:

Calculates cable lengths and device losses with technical precision, enhancing overall system performance.

Yield Estimation:

Incorporates an integrated yield estimation tool using Meteotest weather data for accurate predictions, essential for project viability and design optimization.

Requirement Type Zones:

Adapts rack designs to meet specific structural or environmental conditions within the project, enhancing durability and efficiency.

Immersive Virtual Reality Visualization and Analysis:

The HELIOS 3D Viewer offers a high-fidelity VR experience for project visualization, featuring realistic terrain representation, shading studies, and energy performance analysis, along with high-resolution screenshot capabilities.

SQL-Database Integration:

Facilitates global collaboration with a centralized database for storing articles, user rights, and project data, ensuring data security and streamlined teamwork.

Secure Data and License Key Sharing via VPN:

Supports VPN integration for secure data and license key sharing across global and remote teams, ensuring the protection of sensitive information and enhancing collaborative efforts.
