Elecworks 2.0.2.5

Elecworks 2.0.2.5

Elecworks is an intelligent, electrical design and documentation software that integrates directly with SolidWorks and DraftSight. It moves beyond simple 2D drafting by using a built-in SQL database to manage components, wires, and connections intelligently. This enables automatic generation of bills of materials (BOM), wire lists, terminal plans, and real-time error checking, streamlining the entire electrical project workflow from initial schematic to manufacturing and service documentation.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Intelligent Schematic Design: Database-driven symbol placement with automatic wire numbering, cross-referencing between sheets, and real-time design rule checks (DRC) for errors.
• Unified Bill of Materials (BOM): Automatically generates a synchronized BOM from the electrical project, which can be linked to the mechanical BOM in SolidWorks for a complete product definition.
• Panel Layout & 3D Integration: 2D panel layout tools with direct bi-directional synchronization to SolidWorks 3D models. Allows for accurate component placement, clash detection, and automatic generation of mounting plates and ducting.
• Automated Terminal & Connector Management: Automatically creates terminal diagrams, connector reports, and pin assignment lists from the schematic, reducing manual errors.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Multi-user environment allows several designers to work on different parts (power, control) of the same project simultaneously with automatic synchronization.
• Manufacturing & Field Documentation: Generates manufacturing outputs like wire lists, cable summaries, and generates field service manuals with interactive PDFs.

What’s New in Version 2.0.2.5

• Enhanced SolidWorks Integration: Improved performance and reliability of the bi-directional link with newer versions of SolidWorks for smoother 3D panel layout synchronization.
• Expanded Manufacturer Part Libraries: Added new and updated component libraries from major electrical manufacturers (Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB, etc.) to the integrated parts database.
• Improved PDF Output & Navigation: Enhanced the generation of intelligent, bookmarked PDF documents with hyperlinks between schematics, parts lists, and terminal diagrams.
• Database Performance Optimizations: Faster loading and searching within the project SQL database, especially for large, complex projects with thousands of components.
• Bug Fixes & UI Refinements: Resolved specific issues related to wire numbering, cross-reference updating, and graphical interface stability.
