The CATIA Electrical Schematic Designer Role provides tools for electrical engineers and designers to develop controls and power systems for machines and other products.
Note that there are two schematic design roles for CATIA electrical design:
- Systems Schematic Engineer – A CATIA role best suited for harness design.
- Electrical Schematic Designer (this role) – A CATIA role that contains a SOLIDWORKS app. This role can integrate with CATIA and is best suited for panel and cabinet design.
This work typically involves design of control panels (cabinets) along with integration of devices including sensors, motors, actuators, instrumentation into the overall electrical system. Electrical Schematic Designer enables the designers to create documentation to guide manufacturing.
Electrical Schematic Designer Benefits
Improve electrical system development speed and quality using Electrical Schematic Designer on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
- Create schematics, control panel layouts, and project documentation for manufacturing
- Speed development of schematic designs by leveraging existing libraries of electrical content
- Reuse portions of existing electrical designs using circuit macros
- Create and deliver all necessary documentation to manufacturing
Electrical Schematic Designer Highlights
- Create single line schematics utilizing simple pictorial representations of electrical components and interconnections
- Create traditional multi-line schematics using this tool’s simplified user interface (UI), optimized to manage repetitive tasks
- Leverage electrical content from the available library that includes schematic symbols, 2D component footprints, and manufacturers parts database
- Generate 2D control panel drawings that are included with the schematic schematics in the overall electrical design project
- Reuse circuits or portions of a circuit (circuit macros) to speed further electrical design
- Automate terminal strip drawing creation with tools based on and synchronized in real-time with the schematic
- Automate many programmable logic controller (PLC) wiring tasks along with the ability to import PLC data and labels
- Automatically generate reports based on real-time design database queries, with custom reports possible via integrated custom report-creation tools
