BendWorks® is a first-of-its-kind add-on software application for Autodesk® Revit® and Autodesk® Revit® MEP that helps Building Information Modeling (BIM) modelers more efficiently optimize electrical conduit runs. BendWorks® allows for a smooth information transfer between BIM modelers and the electrical prefabrication shop or jobsite.  BendWorks® 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.

Material Optimization

•Optimizes conduit runs for fewest cuts and segments

•Automatically or manually align couplings

   

Quality Control and Assurance

•Retains conduit parameters automatically during model modifications

•Automatically generates conduit identification for traceability on the jobsite

 

Error Checking

•Four types of error checking: setting, pre-process, process, and warning

•Adjust maximum bend angles and a total distance of conduit run

•Color-coded indicators on conduit for errors

•Checks for NEC violations and bender capacity

Model and Bend Accuracy

•Applies coupling gap information for more accurate installation

•Provides output files for BendWorks Go mobile app or to print for smooth information transfer

•Greenlee bender-specific output files provide step-by-step bend instructions to remove guesswork and reduce operator error

Sample Greenlee conduit RVT files are provided within the installer and can be found under the following path
