SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D expertly integrates electrical schematics with mechanical models, making it invaluable in electrical engineering and mechanical design. This integration is crucial, offering a unified solution that bridges electrical and mechanical design gaps. Because of this, design collaboration, accuracy, and efficiency are increased. This makes it an invaluable tool for engineers and designers aiming to refine their workflow and enhance project quality.

Core Features and Advantages

Built to empower the electrical design process, Electrical 3D provides a range of features for a smooth transition from schematic to 3D model:
  • Bidirectional Real-time Integration: This feature ensures that electrical schematic design data and the 3D mechanical model stay in sync. Changes in one are instantly updated in the other.
  • Advanced Routing Technology: The tool uses SOLIDWORKS routing technology to connect electrical design elements within the 3D model automatically. This optimizes the layout and implementation of wire, cable, and harness paths.
  • Optimal Length Calculation: It calculates the best lengths for wires, cables, and harnesses in the 3D environment, improving accuracy and reducing material waste.
  • Design and BOM Synchronization: It keeps electrical and mechanical designs in harmony. This ensures a unified and accurate bill of materials, simplifying production planning and minimizing errors.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D supports a more integrated design process. As a result, teams can work concurrently, saving significant time and reducing costs related to prototyping and revisions.

Features in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D3D

Collaborative Electrical-Mechanical Development

Allows 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

SOLIDWORKS Electrical synchronizes 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 between design disciplines and users.

Electrical Design in 3D CAD

Designers and engineers can integrate electrical schematic design data from SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic into a SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD model for CAD-embedded electrical system design. This real-time, bi-directional, multi-user tool enables more electrical and mechanical designers to collaborate. It allows for the 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 provides for the planning and documentation of route paths and associated data (such as the 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

Create 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, simplifying 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, and associated BOM documentation.

Embedded Electrical System Design Planning

The program incorporates purpose-built design tools for schematically driven embedded electrical subsystem development, with an intuitive graphical user interface and the intelligence of traditional multi-line tools.

3D Electrical Cabinet Design

Combining SOLIDWORKS CAD and Electrical technologies, SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D provides a design environment enhanced for electrical 3D cabinet design. This cohesive environment is synchronized in real time without the use of external files and can utilize existing CAD designs. With SOLIDWORKS automation tools, SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D provides comprehensive electrical 3D cabinet design and documentation capabilities.

Electrical Component Library

An extensive integrated library of manufacturer parts provides an easily customizable and adaptable parts base through easy-to-use import tools and wizards.
