DEFINITIONS
"eCatalog" is a library of PVSITES virtual products and BIM objects:
  • A "virtual product" is a parametric object, digital twin, as close as possible to the real product, delivering its properties to the PVSITES software
  • BIM objects: the PVSITES virtual products embed BIM features to enable the PVSITES software to communicate with other BIM software
  • These objects are easy to handle in 3D by the users within the PVSITES software graphical interfaces
