Serial Solidworks Electrical

SOLIDWORKS Electrical is an open, intuitive and complete software package for preparing electrical schematics. It is composed of two packages: SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic (for detailed schematic design, wiring line diagrams, 2D cabinet layouts, and complete management of terminals and reports) and SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D (for 3D plant layout and routing of wires, cables, and harnesses), both of which can be used individually. The electrical project data is stored in an (SQL Server) database and updated in real-time by the Collaborative Server. This allows multiple users to work on the same electrical project.
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 for both mechanical and electrical parts.
Extensive library of industry-standard schematic symbols (IEC, ANSI, JIS, GB) combined with a database of manufacturer parts to provide an easily customizable and adaptable parts database through easy-to-use import tools.
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.
Support of 3D terminal strip management with capability to renumber and set component terminal properties. Additional capabilities include the ability to add manufacturer parts, circuits, and capability to add accessory components to terminal strip.
Enhances SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic performance by minimizing network traffic and deferring real-time project updates. This technology provides a performance boost on large projects and remote access, without having to use special techniques.
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).
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.
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.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical is a systems-level electrical design package that allows you to design electrical schematics quickly and accurately with customizable design tools. Electrical makes creating 2D schematics a quick and painless process. Additionally, create fully associated single line diagrams, terminal strip drawings, cabinet layouts, and more.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical is the only schematic design package that can be linked to the 3D SOLIDWORKS mechanical environment. This capability means you can automatically route and get the lengths of your wires, cables, and harnesses.
When considering adopting SOLIDWORKS Electrical, a frequently asked question we encounter from mechanical, electrical and I.T. professionals is, How does SOLIDWORKS Electrical work with our existing infrastructure and can we leverage our existing data? In this webinar, we will demonstrate how we easily bring in existing data and quickly generate the required deliverables by covering a few scenarios where SOLIDWORKS Electrical interacts with other commonly used products and tools in a complementary fashion.
Create beautiful, fully associated documentation with easy-to-use schematic tools. Simply select the symbol from the library and place it on the schematic to start creating components. The intuitive wiring tools minimize having to trim or split lines.
The Terminal Strip Editor has tools to specify terminal part numbers, add any accessory terminal parts, and define multi-level terminals. Additionally, it can manage bridges or jumpers between terminals. Once the terminal strip is completed, the terminal strip drawing can be generated with a click of a button.
The PLC Manager facilitates the management and creation of PLCs. Here is where PLCs, Racks, and Modules can be organized as well as creating reusable sets of inputs and outputs. When everything is set up, configurable PLC drawings can be generated.
The SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D add-in allows wires, cables, and harnesses to be automatically routed in the 3D environment. The connections that are established in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic define which components are connected. Wires and cables that are routed in 3D will have accurate lengths reported in all reports. Once a harness is routed, it can be flattened to produce a full-size mockup of the harness to be used on a form board.
Harnesses can be created in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic to provide reports of which wires and cables are included in a harness. Additionally, the SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D add-in provides tools to create to-scale flattened harness drawings.
Anything included in a SOLIDWORKS Electrical project can be used to create custom reports. There are out of the box reports such as Bills of Materials, Wire Lists, and PLC Inputs and Outputs, but any report can be customized.

SolidWorks Electrical lets you precisely develop the overall system design and integrate the electrical aspects into the 3D mechanical model to create a better design in less time. The integration of the electrical and mechanical design processes allows early identification of problems, resulting in less rework, improved quality and decreased time-to-market.
My company has explored the idea to change over from ACad electrical to Solidworks electrical, does anybody out there have any experiences with Solidworks electrical that you may be able to share good or bad.
We have been using Acad electrical for the past 12 years + and even going back to when it was VIA. I feel we just are now getting efficient with the Acad electrical product and it works quite well and we have a legacy of schematics drawn in ACad electical and it seems that it would be difficult to support both Solidworks ACad products.
