SOLIDWORKS Electrical is a set of tools for creating electrical schematics, wiring documentation, and electrical design data in a structured way.
It helps teams define electrical interconnections for complex systems and keep documentation consistent as changes happen.
Cadmes offers four options:
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic Standard covers the core schematic and documentation workflow, including: multiline and mixed schematics, 2D cabinet creation, component/symbol libraries, design reuse, automated terminal drawing creation, automated contact cross-referencing, formula management, content portal access, enhanced SOLIDWORKS PDM connector, and report generation.
SOLIDWORKS Electric Schematic Professional includes Standard functionality, then adds capabilities aimed at deeper control and collaboration, including: customised report generation, link to SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD, a common ECAD/MCAD database, PLC tools, dynamic connector tools, real-time collaboration and synchronisation, deferred update mode, Excel automation, custom library classifications, and user rights management.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D is for planning and routing electrical systems inside 3D CAD, so electrical and mechanical work stays aligned.
It includes auto-routing, harness design planning, embedded electrical system planning, 3D electrical cabinet design, and a component library, with real-time synchronisation as part of the workflow.
A practical way to choose:
SOLIDWORKS Electrical Professional: best when both advanced schematics and 3D electrical routing must stay connected.
SOLIDWORKS publishes official minimum requirements online.
As a baseline, SOLIDWORKS lists x86_64 (Intel 64/AMD64) and 16 GB RAM (32 GB recommended) for SOLIDWORKS generally, and Electrical Schematic: 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended).
Real performance still depends on project size and whether the workflow includes heavier 3D work.
Yes. Cadmes offers SOLIDWORKS Electrical training (schematics, wiring diagrams, and documentation workflows), and also offers SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D training for 3D routing and related 3D electrical workflows.
