Auto Assembly

GorkyCAD analyzes the schematic and automatically composes the panel:

  1. Determines enclosure size based on device count
  2. Lays out DIN rails
  3. Places devices in logical order (main breaker → RCD → group breakers)
  4. Routes busbars between devices
  5. Calculates clearances per PUE/IS 732

Manual Refinement

  • Drag devices to reorder
  • Resize enclosure
  • Add/remove DIN rails
  • Change busbar arrangement
  • Add labels and markings

Feeder Topology

The panel hierarchy is tracked automatically:

  • Main panel (MSB) → Sub-panels → Floor panels → Apartment panels
  • Each upstream breaker feeds a downstream panel
  • Cumulative loads calculated up the hierarchy
