New SolidWorks Electrical App unveiled

Dassault Systemes has introduced new SolidWorks Electrical applications. These new offerings include system level 2D schematic design tool and a 3D electrical modeling add-in to SolidWorks design application.

“Today, companies in industrial equipment, engineering services, high-tech, medical devices, and consumer goods are developing products that include more electrical content. More than half of our SolidWorks customers require a solution that streamlines collaboration between mechanical and electrical systems engineers. The addition of SolidWorks Electrical to our product portfolio moves us into this underserved market with a robust solution that upholds the SolidWorks focus on ease-of-use and makes close collaboration between mechanical and electrical design groups a reality,” said Bertrand Sicot, CEO, SolidWorks, Dassault Systèmes.

“The full integration with SolidWorks will make SolidWorks Electrical easy to learn and will allow both our mechanical and electrical departments to collaborate on electrical system and wiring design. Our mining vehicles include complex electrical wiring and need to have consistent design -  the decision to consider SolidWorks Electrical was easy. By integrating our electrical and mechanical design processes, we can better document electrical requirements and cable/wire paths, resulting in less rework, higher product quality, and faster time-to-market,” said Kyle Strong, Project Manager, Getman Corporation.
