Whats WindMilMap?
2
What Is WindMilMap

• WindMilMap is the combination of WindMil and
  ArcGIS
• WindMilMap provides a model correct for
  electrical engineering that enhances the GIS
  power of ESRI with the power of WindMil

3
Goals of WindMilMap

• Provide all the power of WindMil
• Provide all the power of ArcGIS
• Provide new tools to improve functionality of
  both.
• Provide ArcGIS with access to all data from the
  Milsoft suite of products

4
What Is WindMilMap Literally

• A combination of two programs
• WindMil and ArcGIS
• New code built atop the native framework of both
  programs
• ArcObjects (ArcGIS)
• WindMilObjects (WindMil)

5
What Does That Mean

• WindMilMap will be installable into any ArcGIS
  application
• Circuit model functionality uses the same proven
  code WindMil has used for the past 20 years
• Edit tools
• Analysis tools
• Etc.

Why Is This Different

• WindMilMap teaches ArcGIS to use the
  electrical-engineering-quality Milsoft circuit
  model
• Tools and Functions are designed specifically for
  the electric model
• Element data is directly related to connectivity

8
What Is Different

• Accurate and easy connectivity
• More automated data entry and correction
• New powerful rendering tools
• New powerful labeling tools
• Multi-user editing without ArcServer
• No data conversions for EA or OMS
