- [Instructor] SOLIDWORKS is a global leader
in engineering and design software used
throughout numerous industries.
SOLIDWORKS: Electrical is a powerful design package
that helps simplify the design and development
of complex electrical systems.
This includes generating electrical schematics,
line diagrams, cabinet layouts, PLC drawings,
wire lists, automated final reports,
and much, much more.
Hi, I'm Justin Flett
and welcome to SOLIDWORKS: Electrical.
I've been working with SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS: Electrical
as an electromechanical engineer and designer
across numerous industries for over 10 years.
In this course, we'll first take a look
at the entire process
of generating an electrical design project
from the ground up.
First we'll learn the basics of the software
and how to generate simple electrical documents
and drawings that can be used within our project.
We'll then look into creating some PLC drawings
and electrical enclosure layouts.
Finally, we'll lean how to generate
some industry-standard final reports and output
such as wire lists, parts lists,
cabling lists, and much more.
Not only can SOLIDWORKS: Electrical
generate electrical schematics and documents,
but also has an immense, continuously growing
electrical library,
with millions of prebuilt electrical components and symbols.
This means you don't have to worry
about building up your own component library
and can just jump right into your designs.
By the end of this course,
we will have a strong foundation
of the SOLIDWORKS: Electrical fundamentals,
and we'll be able to quickly and efficiently generate
some electrical project documents.
Now let's get started with SOLIDWORKS: Electrical.
