SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D is a supplement to SOLIDWORKS to create a 3D cabinet layouts and the wire, cable, and harness routings. This chapter contains only functionality specific to SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D. Contents Activate Module SOLIDWORKS Electrical Toolbar Most tools in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D create 3D layouts and routing. You can also edit electrical project data such as terminal strips and manage reports. Automatic SOLIDWORKS File Generation The files that allow you to insert materials are automatically generated by SOLIDWORKS Electrical. Managing Components The component list comes from the SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic interface. In SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, you can add, edit, or delete components. Insert Equipment Under SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D relies on the SOLIDWORKS software for the electrical equipment 3D implantation. The electrical equipments can be a cabinet, an implantation on the assembly of a machine tool, and more. Routing To route wires, cables, and harnesses, you need SOLIDWORKS Electrical CAD Standard, Professional, or Premium and the SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D add-in installed. Update Wire / Cable Length You can update the database with lengths of wires and cables, as specified in the custom properties of assemblies. Update BOM Properties You can update BOMs by transferring the data from the electrical project database to the customized properties for SOLIDWORKS 3D parts. Electrical Components Wizard The Electrical Components Wizard prepares a SOLIDWORKS part or assembly to make it compatible with the SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D features. It uses the Routing Library Manager of SOLIDWORKS, displaying specific options required for the cabinet layout and routing. Parent topicSOLIDWORKS Electrical
