Designcenter Solid Edge Electrical Routing fact sheet
Route wires and cables in 3D from the electrical schematic, with lengths and bills of materials.
A three-page fact sheet on Designcenter Solid Edge Electrical Routing (called Solid Edge Electrical Routing in the document), the module for creating, routing and organising wires, cables and bundles inside a mechanical assembly. It explains how harness topology moves between electrical (ECAD) and mechanical (MCAD) design so both teams work from one digital mock-up.
What the document covers
- A structured workflow for defining 3D paths and wire, cable and bundle properties, including a harness wizard that reads a net-list file
- Routing along irregular surfaces, useful for cabinet panel design, and creating bundles over splices
- Assigning terminals and connection data on the fly, and exporting net lists with wire lengths back to ECAD for analysis such as voltage drop
- Live design checks for minimum bend radius and maximum bundle size, shown as symbols with advice on fixing them
- Associative 3D wire models in colour, including bi-coloured wires, for detailed drawings
- Connected mode with cross-probing to Solid Edge Wiring and Harness Design, Capital Logic and Harness XC, and DSI file exchange in disconnected mode
Who it is for
Mechanical and electrical engineers who design wire harnesses, control cabinets or machines with cabling, in companies with or without a dedicated ECAD system.
