Save Product Structure<\/strong> \u2013 get a full view of your overall product design.<\/p>\n You can now save both your electrical project and the information on electrical parts in your schematic that describe the product structure to the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n Even though this is coming from schematic (2D only) it can be combined with the product structure from the 3D mechanical design that includes mechanical parts such as pumps, tanks, etc., as part of the product structure \u2013 all on the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform.<\/p>\n And because the schematic-based electrical product structure is combined with the mechanical product structure, design changes automatically update. This eliminates the need for error prone, manual efforts to combine outputs from different electrical and mechanical design tools each time a design change is made.<\/p>\n Other members of the design team can then view your product’s overall product structure using other tools on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform,\u00a0including the Product Structure Explorer app, Relations app and more.<\/p>\n Use the Product Release Engineer role<\/a> to create a unified electrical and mechanical bill of materials (BOM) to get a full view of the content required to build your product. These tools then provide a gateway to additional capabilities on 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE including process and manufacturing planning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Tool to Import Electrical Content<\/strong> \u2013 speed up importing new and existing electrical content.<\/p>\n Import existing or new electrical content with full details using a Microsoft\u00ae Excel-based template, customizable for different electrical classification types. For example, you can import circuit and terminal information for parts, and cable core information for cables.<\/p>\n Using this enhanced template method provides a flexible way to import manufacturer\u2019s part information into your library.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s a glimpse of what\u2019s new in Electrical Schematic Designer for 2024x FD02 and an example of our regular introductions of new enhancements throughout the year. Regular updates are one thing that is great about our cloud-connected solutions, including Electrical Schematic Designer, as well as our browser-based solutions in the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE Works portfolio<\/a>. That goes for SOLIDWORKS too, as new enhancements are now included in service packs.<\/p>\n See the other enhancements added this year in my last blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n To learn more please visit the Electrical Schematic Designer<\/a> page.<\/p>\n To learn more about future directions in electrical design, check out this on-demand webinar: https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/media\/future-schematic-design-tools-cloud-data-management<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/05\/saveproductstructureesxblogmay2324.png\")
