What is SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D?

SOLIDWORKS® Electrical 3D enables you to easily integrate your electrical schematic designs into your SOLIDWORKS 3D product model.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D connects 2D electrical schematics with the 3D product model, helping electrical and mechanical teams work in a more coordinated way. It allows users to place electrical components, route wires, cables, and harnesses directly inside the 3D assembly. With real-time integration between SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Professional and SOLIDWORKS Design, design changes stay connected across both environments, reducing errors and improving workflow efficiency.

Use this solution to improve the way your team creates, documents, reviews, and prepares product designs. Khodiyar Infotech helps you choose the right SOLIDWORKS software, plan licensing, train users, and support adoption after implementation.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D Capabilities.

Key workflow areas where this solution helps teams improve productivity, accuracy, and collaboration.

/// CAPABILITY 01

Electrical Design in 3D CAD

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D allows engineers to integrate electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and design data directly into the 3D model of a machine or product. Its real-time, bidirectional connection improves coordination between electrical and mechanical teams while helping users place, remove, and validate electrical components inside the 3D CAD assembly. This helps ensure proper component fit, optimize wire lengths and routing paths, and reduce the need for costly physical prototypes.

Wire and cable routing

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D uses advanced routing technology to automate wire, cable, and harness routing inside the 3D CAD model. It can follow defined route paths and apply segregation rules, such as keeping high-voltage power lines separate from sensitive control or data signals. This helps teams reduce manual routing effort, improve design accuracy, and save valuable engineering time.

Real-time Collaboration

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D supports real-time collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams through a synchronized design environment. It allows schematically defined electrical systems to be implemented directly into the SOLIDWORKS Design model, helping both teams work with the same updated project data. Multiple mechanical and electrical engineers can work on the same project simultaneously using its collaborative, multi-user environment. This improves coordination, reduces communication gaps, minimizes design conflicts, and helps teams complete cross-disciplinary projects more efficiently.

Design Planning and Visualization

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D helps teams plan and visualize electrical harnesses and embedded electrical systems directly inside the 3D product model. It creates a virtual design-in-place environment where schematically defined harnesses can be auto-routed within SOLIDWORKS Design, helping teams simplify harness development, check routing, and reduce design errors. The software also supports detailed assembly drawings, flattened manufacturing drawings, form boards, cut lists, ballooned assemblies, and BOM documentation. This gives electrical and mechanical teams a clearer view of the complete system and improves ECAD-MCAD integration from planning to manufacturing.

3D Electrical Cabinet Design

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D provides a connected design environment for creating accurate 3D electrical cabinet layouts. By combining SOLIDWORKS Design with SOLIDWORKS Electrical, teams can synchronize 2D schematics and 3D cabinet models in real time without repeatedly importing connection files or from-to lists after every revision. This helps engineers place cabinet components, verify harness fit, check routing, and avoid interference issues before fabrication. It also supports flattened layouts, fabrication-ready blueprints, and better planning for strain relief, cabinet doors, and service loops, helping teams deliver more accurate and reliable electrical cabinet designs.
