Electrical Schematic Standard
SOLIDWORKS Electrical accelerates electrical system design with efficient schematic design capabilities that simplify your process. Multiple users can work together to generate complex single-line or multi-line schematics and automate wiring of PLCs and terminal strips. You can easily reuse portions of existing circuits in new designs to speed development and maintain consistency.
Using SOLIDWORKS Powerful 2D schematic design tools, it enables user to quickly develop embedded electrical systems for machines or products, with built-in symbol libraries, manufacturer part data, and 3D component models. Automated management tools streamline design of complex PLC connections.
*Requires a SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional or Premium CAD license
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2D Schematic design capabilities simplify development of embedded electrical systems for machines and other applications, with single-line and multi-line schematic tools for planning your electrical systems. An integrated library database provides thousands of symbols and more than 500,000 manufactured parts for use in your design, and you can speed up development by copying and reusing common circuit segments within a project or to other projects.
- Schematic and 3D models are automatically linked bi-directionally in real time
- Generate single-line or multi-line 2D schematics with ease
- Automate wire and cable routing to save time
- Speed up development by copying and reusing common circuit segments within a project
- Reduce development time by working concurrently within team
- Automated management tools streamline design of complex PLC connections
