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
.
When
you use segregation, the following parameters are available depending on the
project.
Selecting
the Wire Style or Cable
Accessing
the Wire Style Selector:
Begin by selecting the required wire
style or cable type using the
wire style selector.
Routing
Path Selection
After selecting the wire style or cable type, determine the routing
paths or axes to include or exclude. This ensures that your wiring follows the
intended routes.
Selection Zones:
- Include
:
Select assemblies that contain routing paths or axes to
include
in the routing phase.
- Exclude
:
Select assemblies that contain routing paths or axes to exclude from the routing
phase.
Segregating
Wires
or
Cables
Excluding
Paths:
- Select the wire or cable.
- In the PropertyManager
, under Exclusion, Choose
the routing axes, EwPath lines, or assemblies containing routing paths to
add to the exclusion rule.
The outcome is that the routes for the selected wire styles or cables
do not pass through the excluded elements.
Including
Paths:
- Select the wire or cable.
- In the PropertyManager
, under Inclusion, Choose
the routing axes, EwPath lines, or assemblies containing routing paths to
add to the inclusion rule.
Results:
- The routes for the selected wire styles or cables pass
through the included elements only if it is the shortest path.
- The remaining wire styles or cables do not pass through the
included elements.
