Elecworks’ new 3D capabilities present multiple advantages to automation professionals. 3D design enables faster design and production cycle. Precise wire length calculations enable pre-assembly wire processing in a streamlined production cycle.  Users can visualize the space occupied in a panel or prevent component collision without resorting to a time-consuming and costly prototype. 3D wire views are realistic showing separate wires in a duct in the automatic 3D panel or machine wiring process.

This latest release of the innovation award winning elecworks 2011 offers users the following highlighted features:

-          PLC management features automate the creation of PLCs with features to adapt cards to your needs.

-          Dynamic PLC insertion with customizable selectable signals all with personalized descriptions.

-          Automated selectable PLC macros per channel for easy full creation of all PLC I/O.

-          Views for 3D automated wire routing are more realistic and show separate wires within duct for more precise wire length calculations.

-          Connection label feature to easily represent and locate all connection information for a device in a single glance.

“The new 2011 release of elecworks reinforces easy-to-use operation while adding new exciting abilities like dynamic insertion of PLCs signals, direct copy-paste from excel and more realistic section and colors and 3D auto-routing within SolidWorks.”, declares Dr. Pedro Puig Deu, General Manager of Trace Software International. “Based on user experience, these enhancements are designed to further improve out-of-the-box capabilities while offering customization and flexibility to meet our clients’ changing needs”.

Already available in 6 languages including English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, elecworks 2011 is now also available in traditional Chinese (Taiwan).

Attendees have seen demonstration of how they can design electrical assemblies using elecworks™ and SolidWorks software

St Romain, France – Feb. 14, 2011 — Trace Software International, a leading software developer in the industrial automation and power distribution market, today announced the release of a new elecworks version at the SolidWorks World 2011 Conference, held from Jan. 23 – 26, 2011 in San Antonio, Texas. The 13th annual SolidWorks World Conference brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends, and the technology shaping the future of product design. Show attendees have seen how elecworks™ and SolidWorks® software allow customers to design automation and electrical installation projects from 2D schematics up to 3D design.

As a SolidWorks Gold Partner Product, elecworks™ has been specifically designed for engineers who want to integrate electrical schematics in their existing SolidWorks platform as an easy to use powerful add-on. An additional Routing and Cabling module enables panel and machine wiring in 3D automatically. The latest version provides new flexibility for PLC handling and also includes also a PDM link module to manage electrical project data within SolidWorks Enterprise PDM system.

Elecworks™ achieves SolidWorks Certified Gold Product status

New elecworks™ release to be announced and shown at SolidWorks World 2010

An improved automatic generation for PLCs has been added: from the equipment chosen in library, automatic drawings are generated with the possibility for the designer to add some information about I/O on each channel to be wired.

An additional major feature includes automatic routing and wiring within SolidWorks: no need to select one by one start and end point couples, this module does it automatically with optimization and shortest wire length calculation. This improvement saves wiring and mounting time and enables reliable panel mounting fitting.

This release provides also significant compatibility advantages such as the possibility to adopt or re-use existing SolidWorks assemblies as well as an integrated wizard to manage and cross-grade AutoCAD and AutoCAD electrical drawings.

All the new features are a direct result of listening to the pilots and customers' requirements. Pilots from more than 20 countries on all continents have taken part in this program and given their valuable feedback.

"What our clients need - and what Trace Software International is intent on delivering - is an easy yet powerful tool integrated to their existing platform to meet their needs in electrical design and produce their documentation in the same way as their mechanical projects with seamless interoperability and no learning curve" said Dr Pedro Puig, Managing Director of Trace Software International. "Electrical design can be completed on a unique database with real-time change capabilities enabling all users to make dramatic gains in efficiency and productivity."

Together with this new release, other breakthroughs have taken place to provide a more comprehensive support wherever the localization of elecworks™ users. Thus, a new Shanghai-based office has opened recently to deal with all sales and support matters for elecworks™ in China. Still focussing on services, a new website dedicated to elecworks™ was launched last December in English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and Chinese offering an e-Content Portal section for elecworks™ users, in particular to share SolidWorks component libraries.
