Design Automation
Accelerate the electrical design process with intelligent and automated design, documentation and reporting capabilities. Electrical design features speed tedious tasks compared to traditional CAD tools.
Speed Up Your Electrical Design & Documentation
Electrical Schematic Designer is a purpose-built, easy-to-use intelligent 2D electrical design & documentation solution. Smart electrical design and documentation functionality speed design with improved accuracy. Leveraging the secure cloud-based technology of the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform to store, manage, and collaborate on electrical and mechanical product designs. All fully integrated with the other SOLIDWORKS® solutions.
Collaboration
Improve product team efficiency and communication using secure, cloud-based communities and data management to connect all project stakeholders and share relevant information from a single source of truth.
Integration
Fully integrate electrical and mechanical design using all 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS solutions to speed overall product development, improve quality and simplify support in one common environment.
Improve Product Development with Design Automation
Reduce development time with electric design capabilities, including design reuse, advanced schematic capture, documentation and reporting:
- Automate tedious design tasks, including: contact cross-referencing, wire number, custom reporting, control panel layout and terminal strip wiring
- Maximize design reuse using Circuit Macros and Excel-driven automation
- Programmable logic controller (PLC) tools: Automate PLC wiring tasks and import PLC data and labels with PLC management tools
- Reduce errors: Leverage Design Rule Checks (DRCs) to identify design issues up front
Synchronize Product Design with Collaboration
Cloud-based Collaboration enable design teams and stakeholders stay in synch throughout the design cycle by leveraging the following capabilities:
- Document team communication: store project communications and history on Communities, Conversations and Dashboards in one location
- View, share, annotate, discuss, visualize, and manage designs from any device with a web browser
- Manage product workflow state and product lifecycle: track progress by workflow steps along with product and component revision all through development
- Cloud-based Library management: Store and manage your electrical content library on the secure platform so all electrical users can access and use the same content
Integration of Electrical and Mechanical
3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS family of integrated electrical and mechanical design solutions offer the following key advantages:
- Single cloud-based product development environment: insures data and application compatibility across your organization
- Central access to Electrical and Mechanical software: install, maintain and launch your electrical and mechanical software from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
- Central cloud-based project storage: Story your electrical schematic project together with parts, assemblies and libraries on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
- Unified BOM: generate a combined mechanical and electrical BOM from the platform
