SOLIDWORKS® Electrical Professional merges the electrical schematic design features of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics with the three-dimensional capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D into a single comprehensive solution. For effective planning of embedded electrical systems, it is essential to have an integrated electrical toolset that includes both single- and multi-line schematic functionalities. Additionally, it is crucial for the design of embedded systems to ensure that all 2D and 3D work remains in sync for both the mechanical and electrical components involved. This tool aids in planning electrical systems by allowing users to create intricate embedded electrical layouts using straightforward pictorial representations of components and their connections. Furthermore, it offers a schematic creation tool that features a user-friendly interface designed to streamline repetitive tasks for enhanced efficiency. Users can also generate 2D representations of panels directly from electrical schematics, complete with outlines for electrical components. An extensive library of schematic symbols adhering to industry standards (such as IEC, ANSI, JIS, and GB) is complemented by a comprehensive database of manufacturer parts, making it an invaluable resource for engineers and designers. The combination of these features allows for a more efficient workflow in the design and documentation of electrical systems.
