These solutions seat the bases of the collaboration between the equipment of mechanical and electrical design during the phase develop of a product

Dassault Systèmes finishes to present the new solutions of SolidWorks Electrical. Between this new range of products stand out a new tool of the system to design diagrams in 2D and an efficient complement for the solution of design of SolidWorks with which realise modelados of electrical components in 3D. Both tools are linked in real time.

“Nowadays, the products of skilled companies in design of industrial equipment, services of engineering, products of high technology, medical devices and products of consumption contain a greater number of electrical components. More than half of the customers of SolidWorks require a solution that can simplify the collaboration between the engineers of mechanical and electrical systems”, affirms Bertrand Sicot, executive director of SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes. “Include SolidWorks Electrical in our wallet of products has allowed us adentrarnos in this so little exploded sector, thanks to an effective solution that, to the equal that the rest of solutions of SolidWorks, does upsetting in the ease of use and makes possible the collaboration between the groups of mechanical and electrical design”.

The connections between electrical components can define directly in the diagram.

“Learn to use SolidWorks Electrical will result us very simple, since it is entirely integrated cheese cheese in SolidWorks. This will boost the collaboration between the departments of mechanical and electrical design during the phase of design of the wired up and of the electrical system of a product”, ensures Kyle Strong, boss of Projects of Getman Corporation. “Our vehicles of mining exploitation have a system of wired up electrical enormously complex, by what his design has to be the most coherent possible. By this reason, no think it to us twice when choosing SolidWorks Electrical. If we integrate our processes of mechanical and electrical design, will be us much easier document the electrical requirements and the outlines of cables. What win in return? Less remodelaciones, some products of greater quality and a much faster commercialisation”.

Regarding the design of electrical systems, the organisations aspire to improve the performance and the puntualidad general of his departments. Thanks to the solutions of SolidWorks Electrical, the engineers and designers will have it even more easy to the hour to design electrical systems and integrate them in the mechanical models in 3D. These new solutions have seated the bases of the collaboration between the equipment of mechanical and electrical design during the phase develop of a product. Likewise, they simplify the phase of design and reduce the delays, what gives like result a much more coherent design, standardised and profitable that achieves a much faster commercialisation.

SolidWorks Electrical Includes new provision, organised in the three following solutions:

1. SolidWorks Electrical: a tool of design of diagrams in 2D for the planning and the development of the architecture of the electrical system. Between his advantages stands out that it simplifies of the design of electrical components thanks to an interface of user much more dynamic and sensitive to the context, what speeds up the conversion of ideas in designs detailed; it identifies any problem with big rapidity, thanks to a system of detection of errors in real time with which reduces the number of costly wastes and remodelación of works; it allows to create diagrams simpler and precise, with the help of a library with more than 500.000 electrical pieces standard; and it facilitates the work colaborativo of several people in the same project and of simultaneous form.
2. SolidWorks Electrical 3D: it treats of a complement of the solution CAD of SolidWorks that links the diagrams in 2D of SolidWorks Electrical with models in 3D designed with SolidWorks. It includes the following: bisteeringal updates and in real time between the diagrams in 2D and the models in 3D. In this way, they synchronise the electromechanical designs, what allows to keep an optimum level of coherence along the phase of development; when integrating the diagrams in 2D with the models in 3D, standardise the designs and unify the diverse lists of materials, reducing like this the number of errors and delays; placing of the electrical system and the wired up in the model in 3D, that allows to schedule the location and route of the electrical components, so that the manufacture of the product was the most coherent possible.
3. SolidWorks Electrical Professional: It gathers all the functions of SolidWorks Electrical and SolidWorks Electrical 3D in an alone application, headed to those users that work in the development of electrical systems so much in 2D like 3D.

The routes of the electrical cables can create using outlines in 3D for fast results, or using standard routes 3D for a more precise representation.

The solutions of SolidWorks Electrical are based in the technology of Trace Software, a company with more than 20 years of experience in the sector of the design of electrical components. As Gold Partner current of SolidWorks, the products elecworks of Trace are integrated cheese cheese in SolidWorks, so that the engineers can follow using the surroundings of SolidWorks (with which are more familiarised) to optimise the design of his electromechanical components.

The first version of SolidWorks Electrical is available from August of 2012 in North America, Europe and Middle East and, more advance, will follow them the rest of regions and countries.
