What is SOLIDWORKS Electrical?
SOLIDWORKS® Electrical software helps simplify electrical schematic creation with an intuitive interface for faster design of embedded electrical systems, including power systems, user controls, complex wiring, and harnesses.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Solutions
The suite of SOLIDWORKS solutions for electrical/mechanical design and integration help design engineers reduce the risks inherent in innovation and get their products to market faster with less physical prototyping to reduce costs. With a consistent, powerful, intuitive set of design capabilities, all fully integrated with SOLIDWORKS, designers can establish an integrated design early in the process and avoid costly rework.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Standard
A powerful, easy-to-use single user schematic design tool helps rapid development of embedded electrical systems for equipment and other products.
Built-in and web-enabled libraries of symbols and manufacturer part information provide common reusable materials optimizing design reuse. You can streamline and simplify an array of tedious design tasks, from terminal block to contact cross reference assignments, with our automated design and management tools.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Professional
Designers and engineers can quickly define the electrical interconnect of complex electrical systems with SOLIDWORKS Electrical.
Built-in libraries of symbols, manufacturer part information, and 3D component models provide common materials optimizing design reuse.
Streamline and simplify an array of tedious design tasks, from PLC and terminal block to contact cross-reference assignments, with SOLIDWORKS automated design and management tools.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D
Integrate electrical schematic design data with the SOLIDWORKS 3D model of a machine or other product — bidirectionally and in real time.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D enables you to place electrical components and use advanced SOLIDWORKS routing technology to automatically interconnect electrical design elements within the 3D model.
Determine optimal lengths for wires, cables, and harnesses, while maintaining design and BOM synchronization between electrical and mechanical designs.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Professional
Combine the electrical schematic functionality of SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic with the 3D modeling capabilities of SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D in one powerful, easy-to-use package.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Professional is ideally suited for the user who supports both electrical and mechanical design integration.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Benefits
Seamless integration of electrical and mechanical
Boost product innovation
Grow market share and differentiate through groundbreaking product design.
Empower engineering teams with intuitive, powerful electrical design tools that simplify development and the development of new ideas to bring innovative products to market faster.
Ensure consistent manufacturing
Including electrical information from the schematic in the 3D model enables detailed planning, visualization, and documentation of the overall product design, helping to ensure consistent assembly from unit to unit.
Shorten time-to-market
Coordinating electrical and mechanical functions enables teams to work in parallel to save time. Specific time-saving benefits include combining mechanical and electrical Bills of Materials (BOMs) to streamline production planning, and faster planning of cable/wire/harness paths using the 3D model.
