Leveraging Printed Circuit Boards with SOLIDWORKS Electrical https://trimech.com/leveraging-printed-circuit-boards-with-solidworks-electrical/ Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:22:45 +0000 https://trimech.com/?p=71471 The goal with any electro-mechanical design team is to be streamlined and connected to ensure changes are communicated properly and designs encompass all aspects of our design. We typically see that electro-mechanical design teams are often disjointed and there is no real link between electrical data and mechanical data.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical combines the best of the 2D and 3D worlds by allowing for best-in-class schematic designs to freely flow down to their 3D representations inside of SOLIDWORKS. This is incredibly useful for laying out schematics and showcasing things like wires or cables, electrical components, and even hydraulic/pneumatics, but what about Printed Circuit Boards? Often, the PCBs are designed in separate software and have no link to either the schematic or the mechanical assembly, leaving room for errors to pop up during design changes. Fortunately, SOLIDWORKS provides some great functionality for interlinking Electrical, Mechanical, and Circuit Board Designers and allows for seamless collaboration.

Join us as TriMech Elite Application Engineer, Sawyer Gara shows how SOLIDWORKS Electrical can improve collaboration across the Electro-Mechanical Design team. We’ll see how to leverage CircuitWorks to import industry-standard PCB files and convert them to usable SOLIDWORKS models. From there, we swap over to SOLIDWORKS Electrical to put both the PCB Design file and the SOLIDWORKS Model in the Electrical Library. There are a couple of different ways to represent a PCB in your Electrical Schematic, so we will be sure to discuss the options as well. Finally, we’ll jump back over to SOLIDWORKS and leverage Electrical 3D to place the PCB in our SOLIDWORKS Assembly to have a true representation of the finished product and improve our design intent.

During this SOLIDWORKS Electrical Printed Circuit Boards Webinar, you will learn:

  • Converting Circuit Board Designs to SOLIDWORKS Geometry
  • Linking Board Files to SOLIDWORKS Electrical Library
  • Representing PCBs in SOLIDWORKS Electrical
  • Leveraging Schematics in Electrical 3D
