SOLIDWORKS Electrical

The powerful schematic design tools in SOLIDWORKS Electrical allow you to streamline the 2D design of wires, cables, harnesses, and cabinets. Efficiently plan panels or the entire system design, document, and communicate wiring to management or production with the creation of single-line schematics. Detailed multi-line drawings for power and control circuits, efficient terminal strip placement and wiring, easy documentation of PLC inputs and outputs, and expansive schematic tools allow you to develop any electrical system quickly.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical enables users to efficiently create 3D electrical designs with expansive libraries, easy placement of electrical components, and automatic wiring to connect electrical design elements within the 3D model. Easily determine optimal lengths for wires, cables, and harnesses, all while maintaining design synchronization between schematic and 3D for accurate system design.

Eliminate errors and streamline documentation with automatic report generation based on real-time design database queries. Quickly and efficiently create reports from included templates such as Bill of Materials, Wire and Cable Lists, From/To lists, PLC Input/Output lists, and more or create custom reports with integrated custom report creation tools.

The automated wiring capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Electrical streamline the creation of 2D and 3D design. Real-time design synchronization and automatic termination allows you to generate terminal drawings quickly and accurately. Advanced SOLIDWORKS routing technology simplifies the auto-routing process for wire, cables, and harnesses in the 3D CAD model.

Efficiently complete schematic-driven harness designs with real-time bi-directional functionality, powerful routing and flattening, and automatic documentation.

The expansive libraries included with SOLIDWORKS Electrical helps you design quickly and accurately. Industry-standard schematic symbols, a database of up-to-date manufacturer parts, and easy-to-use import tools provide the necessary building blocks to create your 2D and 3D designs.

The synchronized, bi-directional environment in SOLIDWORKS Electrical enables multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously, in real-time for efficient collaboration. All project design data are bi-directionally synchronized in real-time between schematics and the electrical 3D model saving you time and reducing errors throughout the design process.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical accelerates the ECAD design process with intelligent cut-and-paste, an easy-to-access selection of favorite components and circuit design elements, and the ability to reuse non-SOLIDWORKS Electrical design elements through easy-to-use import wizards.
