With Electrical Schematic Designer, you will reduce your development time thanks to our electrical design capabilities like intelligent design reuse, advanced schematic capture, and automated documentation and reporting assistance. Electrical Schematic Designer further allows you to:

  • Eliminate tedious design tasks including contact cross-referencing, wire numbering, custom reporting, control panel layout, and terminal strip wiring through Electrical Schematic Designer’s intelligent design automation.
  • Maximize design reuse with circuit reuse and Excel-driven automation.
  • Automate programmable logic controller (PLC) wiring tasks and import PLC data and labels with PLC management tools.
  • Leverage Design Rule Checks (DRCs) to identify design issues up front, thus saving time and reducing errors.

Synchronize Product Design with Collaboration

Cloud-based collaboration enables design teams and stakeholders to stay in sync throughout the design cycle by leveraging the following capabilities:

  • Store documentation, project communications, and chat and revision history on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, our secure online ecosystem, which aggregates Communities, Conversations, and Dashboards in one central location.
  • View, share, discuss, and manage designs from any device with a web browser.
  • Manage product workflow state and product lifecycle through tracking progress by workflow steps, product stage, and component revision throughout the full development process.
  • Store and manage your electrical content library with Electrical Schematic Designer’s cloud-based library management on the secure 3DEXPERIENCE platform so all electrical users can access and use the same content.

Shared Platform for Electrical and Mechanical Design
