October 4, 2016

Kansas City, MO – Spatial Business Systems (SBS) announces the general availability of the Substation Design Suite family of products at the SDS Consortium in Kansas City, (www.sdsconsortium.com). The Substation Design Suite is a next generation release of the Autodesk Substation Design products, formerly known as Autodesk® Substation Design for Inventor® and Autodesk® Substation Design for Electrical. SBS is responsible for future development, support and licensing of these products as part of a strategic alliance between SBS and Autodesk

The Substation Design Suite is a powerful, comprehensive set of tools that support the design, construction and management of electrical substations. The products allow substation engineers to efficiently reduce their manual design efforts while supporting the business requirements necessary to build advanced electrical models. Substation Design is a configurable technology that provides extensive tools to support the design process. The products also support the Substation Content Library, which is being hosted by SBS, and is available to users working within the Substation Design Suite. The Substation Design Content Library removes significant modeling time associated with building 3D substation models, greatly reducing the overall time necessary to go from concept to completed design.
