Can powerful electrical CAD software replace job training?
Electrical CAD software, both for construction and for industry, is becoming more and more efficient. More generally, software tends towards “artificial intelligence”, that is to say that it becomes able to learn by itself. These functions greatly facilitate the work of the user by carrying out tedious tasks for him and by verifying the integrity of the study. Given the technical development of these products, it is important to ask whether this software can be used by people who have not received professional training in these sectors.
