Trace Software becomes SolidWorks Solution Partner and announces the worldwide release of elecworks

elecworks: the electrical experience for SolidWorks has begun

Successfully presented in preview at the SolidWorks World Conference in February 2009 in Orlando, Florida, elecworks is now available. elecworks, designed to cover the electrical and automation needs of the SolidWorks engineering offices, increases collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams and allows them to better design automation and electrical installation projects with faster documentation generation.

elecworks is a high-end new generation of software which allows users to work on all areas of a digital installation in real time, based on a SQL Server database driven kernel with multiple views: single line diagram, schematics, equipment management, input/output tables, etc.

elecworks ensures bidirectional links and data update between equipment in the 3D SolidWorks model and the corresponding symbol in the relevant diagram.

The seamless integration between SolidWorks and elecworks 3D Layout module allows you to access and visualize all the schematics related to your design as well as share information between mechanical and electrical teams. This allows users to better evaluate the impact of the electrical needs within the complete design.

With elecworks Routing and Cabling additional module, from the cable and wiring lists and the connection information you will be able to design the cabling system on the SolidWorks mock-up and to update the part list table with the different calculated lengths.

elecworks will now be sold worldwide through the SolidWorks reseller network in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Portuguese. German, Italian, Japanese and Russian will shortly follow.

We are pleased to have Trace Software as part of the DS SolidWorks Partner community and make their integrated electrical and automation solution available to our customers. This is a good answer to an increasing demand we see from our customers. said Nick Iwaskow, Manager, Alliances.

elecworks is the result of an unprecedented technological development. We developed elecworks to provide SolidWorks designers with the tools to use and share electrical and automation information on the 3D mock-up. Our goal is to make it the electrical CAD worldwide de-facto standard. elecworks is definitely the right choice for the companies using SolidWorks as their design tool. said Etienne Mullie, CEO of Trace Software.
