The right choice for electrical engineersĭesigners and engineers can quickly define the electrical interconnect of complex electrical systems with our easy-to-use electrical system design solutions in SOLIDWORKS Electrical. Wire lists, including from/to information and lengths.Bills of Materials for components, wires and cables.Wire harness drawings, including flattened, “nail board” or “form board” diagrams.Schematics for single line (connection) drawings, power, control and PLCs.Detailed cabling and wiring, including harness design.Integration of components into control panels and onto equipment.Overall system architecture and planning.SOLIDWORKS Electrical makes it easy to complete the following tasks: SOLIDWORKS Electrical is unique in its ability to provide a real-time, bi-directional link between Electrical 2D schematics and 3D mechanical models, and therefore offer a clear advantage to any company where two or more users must collaborate on a project. SOLIDWORKS Electrical helps companies simplify the electrical design process and enable concurrent development of electrical and mechanical aspects of a design. Unlike DraftSight and AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS Electrical is not a standalone 2D CAD tool, it is a purpose built electrical design tool with collaboration at its core. The best solution is SOLIDWORKS Electrical Design documentation does not accurately reflect the physical electrical design.

Issues with inaccurate design configurations.No unified Bill of materials for electrical and mechanical.Electrical engineers and designers typically experience the following issues using a generic 2D CAD tool like DraftSight to create complex electrical designs:
