5 KEY BENEFTIS OF SOLIDWORKS ROUTING


It is easy to perform routed system design tasks with SolidWorks Routing and Fitting Library Software. SOLIDWORKS software also supports creation of tube, pipe and electrical systems.

SolidWorks Routing has been created keeping design efficiency in mind and hence, with it you can easily create better designs with improved BOM accuracy. It also efficiently reduces costs and offers faster time-to-market.

Let us now take into account the key benefits of creating routes using SolidWorks Routing.

First benefit for you is the drag and drop placement. The advantage further extends with the provision of automatic sizing of components as well as of parts and assemblies. You can also copy and mirror the routes. Moreover, the software also allows auto-insertion of piping bends and elbows.

Secondly, SolidWorks Routing features auto-routing of tube, hose, and electrical cable and harness segments. This you can do either directly or by mounting clips and hangers.

Third benefit here is the access to the library of ready-made piping, tubing and electrical cabling as well as harnessing components.

Fourth benefit is that engineering drawing and bills of material is automatically created with complete information that includes cut lengths for pipes as well as the tube routes.

Fifth benefit for you is that you can easily reuse the data created with electrical CAD Software and other tools while designing new cable and harness route, or when importing data in the Microsoft Excel.

There are more benefits of SolidWorks Pipe Routing and Tubing which you can learn by signing up for SolidWorks Training.

AN OVERVIEW OF SOLIDWORKS ELECTRICAL 2018 ROUTING INTEGRATION


Taking the ambiguity out of SolidWorks Electrical 3D, the upgrade in SolidWorks Electrical 2018 Routing Integration has completely adopted the SolidWorks Routing platform.

There is another major change in SolidWorks Electrical 2018, and that is in the form of its component wizard which is now tied to the SolidWorks Routing Library Manager. This is what makes SolidWorks Electrical 2018 an all-round solution for managing your routing setup.

The question now arises where it is that you can locate this feature. To find it, simply click on SolidWorks, followed by Open a Part. Inside Open a Part you will find Tools. Click on it. Thereafter, click on Select Electrical and finally, on Electrical Component Wizard.

So, your process, in a row, would look like this:
SolidWorks > Open a part > Tools > SolidWorks Electrical > Electrical Component Wizard
Do remember to turn on the SolidWorks Electrical 3D and SolidWorks Routing add-ins.

SolidWorks Electrical 2018 is highly significant in designing parts and components. Considering that it is eminent you have a SolidWorks Electrical Schematic CAD Software. While an overview of the SolidWorksElectrical Professional can be looked up online, it is always advisable to understand this software deeply and crudely by taking up a SolidWorks Electrical 3D Training.
This will ensure you learn not only the nits and bits of the software but also its critical functionalities such as this upgrade of SolidWorks Electrical 2018 Routing Integration.
