Segregation Management

Segregation defines the authorization or ban of wire or cable paths in a specific place in an installation. For example, you can ban a power wire from running through a duct.

Segregation applies to wires and cables.
  • SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D menu: Segregation .
  • In the menu, click Tools > SOLIDWORKS Electrical > Segregation .

When you use segregation, the following parameters are available depending on the project.

Select Wire Style or Cable

Select Wire style or Cable.

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 Wire style to access the wire style selector. Select a wire type.
  2. Select the routing axes or the assemblies containing routing paths to authorize or ban (include or exclude).
    You can add several segregation modes together.

Segregation of Cables

This works the same way as segregation of wires. You can select a cable from the list of cables for the electrical project, then determine inclusion and exclusion for the cables.

Segregation Management

Groups all the segregations you created for the electrical project.
  • SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D menu: Segregation Management .
  • In the menu, click Tools > SOLIDWORKS Electrical > Segregation > Management .
Use the filters for a more detailed display of segregation.
