Segregation management

Segregation is used to define the authorization or banning of wire or cable paths in a specific place in your installation. For example, you can ban a power wire from running through a duct.

 

Segregation applies to both wires and cables.

 

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D menu: Segregation

Menu: Tools > SOLIDWORKS Electrical > Segregation

 

When the segregation command is launched, the left dockable panel changes to display the various parameters of the command.

Select wire style or cable

Select either the Wire style or the Cable option.

Note that the name of the button changes depending on the chosen option.

 

Select cable duct or routing path to exclude / include while routing: Two selection zones are available to select the assemblies containing a routing path or routing axes to be excluded or included in the routing phase for the cable or wire selected previously.

Segregation of wires

1.     Select the Wire style option.

The button name becomes Select wire style. This button gives access to the wire style selector. Select a wire type.

 

2.     Select the routing axes or the assemblies containing routing paths to be authorized or forbidden for the routing of this type of wire in the appropriate box (include or exclude).

You can add several segregation modes together.

Segregation of cables

This works the same way as segregation of wires. The button lets you select a cable from the list of cables for the electrical project. Inclusion and exclusion operate in the same way as for wires.

Segregation management

The Segregation management groups all the segregations you have created for the electrical project.

 

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D menu: Segregation Management

Menu: Tools > SOLIDWORKS Electrical > Segregation > Management

 

A set of filters (checkboxes) are available to obtain a more detailed display of segregations.
