Spring is within the air, nicely relying on the place you’re situated, however it’s in full swing right here within the Sunshine State of Florida, the place I’m primarily based.
No matter your location, electrical designers in every single place can stay up for the spring replace (R2023x FD02) of Electrical Schematic Designer.
Electrical Schematic Designer is a cloud-connected position that installs in your desktop and lets you simply create electrical designs and retailer and collaborate on them within the cloud on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
One of many advantages of getting this “hybrid” work setting is you can work offline. On this newest launch, Offline mode can now be accessed with out closing an energetic electrical design so you’ll be able to work offline even sooner.
I’ll elaborate extra on Offline mode beneath and some different notable issues I need to make you conscious of so that you begin profiting from the newest enhancements right this moment.
- New Toolbar for Insertion and Library Supervisor – create schematics sooner by accessing and inserting symbols and libraries from one toolbar.
Add symbols and different electrical content material in a snap from a single toolbar as now you can entry the Insertion and Design capabilities and entry the Library Supervisor in a single spot to rapidly entry content material and simply add it to your schematics and drawings.
- Entry Offline Mode with out Closing Electrical Designs – save time and steps when it is advisable to work offline.
We launched the power to work in Offline mode in 2022, and now it’s even sooner as you don’t have to shut your electrical schematic or initiatives to allow it. When it is advisable to work offline, you’ll be able to merely click on on a button to allow Offline mode. That is nice for working remotely at websites with restricted or no web connectivity, like a jobsite the place stakeholders could not have or present web accessibility, or whereas on an airplane or in a rural space.
You possibly can reconnect your designs to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as soon as you might be again on-line, by switching again to On-line mode.
- Join on to CATIA 3D Electrical roles – generate 3D wiring and cabling in management panels and machines.
CATIA customers concerned with electrotechnical design can now create schematics utilizing Electrical Schematic Designer then use this information to generate 3D wiring and cabling in management panels and machines.
Apart from the above, Electrical Schematic Designer additionally contains schematic creation, creation of management panel drawings and era of reviews, design rule checks and different documentation, and extra. Because it’s “cloud-connected,” you put in it in your native desktop and might add your information to retailer, handle, and collaborate along with your crew members on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
In the event you’d wish to study extra about these enhancements or in case you are not at present utilizing Electrical Schematic Designer and have an interest, contact your native associate/reseller for a demo. Additionally, I’d love to listen to what you suppose when you give it a go. Drop a remark beneath.
Webinar alert: 5 Methods to Velocity Up Your Electrical Design and Documentation
You may as well study extra by registering for this upcoming webinar: “5 Methods to Velocity Up Your Electrical Design and Documentation” on Tuesday, Could sixteenth at 1PM ET to study how one can enhance your electrical and fluid design velocity and accuracy.
This webinar will display how one can automate the design and documentation {of electrical} and fluid techniques with Electrical Schematic Designer. With built-in automation options for management panel format, PLCs, terminal strip administration, and cable and harness design, you’ll be able to cut back improvement time by eradicate tedious design duties.
Attendees can count on to find out how Electrical Schematic Designer may help:
Automate design
- Velocity up throughput and accuracy with clever schematic seize capabilities and design rule checks
- Precisely generate design layouts and reviews in seconds
Collaborate higher
- Securely share and handle information, management entry and revision historical past, retaining design groups updated with built-in information and product lifecycle administration capabilities
- Foster crew collaboration by offering a single supply of fact, the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform
Combine workflows
- Allow change as soon as, change in every single place ECOs with associative, parametric structure
- Work concurrently on the identical platform utilizing SOLIDWORKS electrical and mechanical options
Register right this moment to hitch the dwell session of “5 Methods to Velocity Up Your Electrical Design and Documentation” on Tuesday, Could 16 at 1pm ET right here.
