Why Choose SOLIDWORKS Electrical Professional?

Embedded electrical systems planning requires a unified electrical toolset that provides single- and multi-line schematic tools. Embedded system design also requires all work in 2D and 3D to be synchronized with integrated Bills of Materials (BOMs) for both mechanical and electrical parts.

Automatically generate terminal drawings based on and synchronized with the real-time design.

Report Generation

Automatically generate reports based on real-time design database queries. Develop custom reports using integrated custom report creation tools.

Automated Contact Cross-referencing

Electrical contacts are automatically cross-referenced in real time and synchronized based on the availability and type of contacts from manufacturer-specific components.

Advanced Formula Manager

From wire naming to project name formulas, SOLIDWORKS Electrical includes enhanced formula capabilities.

Electrical Component and Symbol Library Management

Integrated Symbol Library that provides easy access to electrical design elements and components.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Content Portal

Web-based content portal providing access to an extensive library of industry-standard schematic symbols and a database of manufacturer parts.

Link to SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics is linked to 3D SOLIDWORKS assemblies, facilitating the verification of proper fit, planning of all wire, cable, harness routes, and calculation of all wire lengths prior to any assembly.

Common ECAD and MCAD Database

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics are bi-directionally linked and allow multi-user interaction in real time. ECAD and MCAD share a common database, ensuring consistency and facilitating creation of a single, unified Bill of Materials (BOM).

PLC Tools

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) management tools automate many PLC wiring design tasks, along with the ability to import PLC data and labels.

Dynamic Connector Tools

Powerful, easy-to-use connector wizard helps simplify the creation, design, and use of electrical connectors.

Real-time Collaboration

Synchronized, bi-directional environment enables multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously in real time for easier project collaboration.

SOLIDWORKS PDM Integration

Automated publishing of schematic data, drawings, and reports for archival and revision control.

Real-time Synchronization

SOLIDWORKS Electrical synchronizes all project design data in real time, bi-directionally in a multi-user collaborative environment between 2D schematics and the 3D model. This synchronization unifies key information (such as BOM and design data) between design disciplines and users.

Collaborative Electrical-Mechanical Development

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D addresses the needs of multi-user and cross disciplinary projects with a synchronized design environment between the electrical and mechanical teams to readily implement schematically-defined electrical systems into a SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model. Multiple electrical and mechanical engineers can work on the same project simultaneously in real time using SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D’s advanced database technology with its bi-directional, multi-user environment.

Real-time Synchronization

Electrical Design in 3D CAD

Designers and engineers can integrate electrical schematic design data from SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D into a SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model for CAD-embedded, electrical system design. This real-time, bi-directional, multi-user tool enables more collaborative design between electrical and mechanical designers and allows for placement or removal of electrical components in the 3D CAD model. Easily create the electrical interconnect of the electrical 3D elements with auto-routing that allows for the planning and documentation of route paths and associated data (such as length of wires, cables, and harnesses within the system).

Auto-Routing

Advanced SOLIDWORKS routing technology to simplify the auto-routing process for wire, cables, and harness in the 3D CAD model.

Electrical Harness Design Planning

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D creates a virtual “design-in-place” electrical system development environment that provides auto-routing of a schematically-defined electrical harness in a SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model, which simplifies harness development while eliminating errors. Once the virtual harness has been created, SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D can produce detailed assembly drawings using the built-in drawing tools. These drawing creation tools include capabilities to create ballooned assemblies, pin board or cut list drawings, as well as associated BOM documentation.

Embedded Electrical System Design Planning

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D is an easy-to-use planning tool for rapid collaborative design of schematically-defined embedded electrical systems that can be implemented in a SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model with an intuitive graphical user interface and the intelligence of traditional multi-line tools. SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D creates a new technology paradigm, incorporating purpose-built design tools for schematically-driven embedded electrical subsystem development.
