20:24 There are 4 Molex connectors attached to the power supply (PS1). How to associate mating parts in schematics? I mean, power supply have 4 a build-in connectors, so how to link counter-parts to these connectors in the schematics?
If you are referring to the accessories - such as pins, backshells, etc. - once you add a "base" component, you can add accessories, or auxiliary components. Depending on your level of detail - you may or may not want to show them in the actual 3D assembly as they will probably be hidden inside the housing anyway and take up unnecessary computer resources. Hope that makes sense.
@@SOLIDWORKSElectrical What about ferrules? We usually crimp ferrules before connecting wires to a contactor, circuit breaker and etc. How to add them to a wire harness?
@@rendoman888 Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Do you need to show them in the flattened drawing? Or just be able to account for them in a report?
great webinar! I have a question: what's the use scenario difference between Solidworks Routing(also can route cable and wire) and Solidworks Electrical?
SOLIDWORKS Premium routing is all manual routing, while the SOLIDWORKS Electrical Routing add-in allows for automatic routing of wires, cables, and harnesses. Additionally, you can combine the two. For example, auto-route wires and then manually add additional coverings - like a loom or snakeskin.
@@SOLIDWORKSElectrical somebody say SW Routing is for mechanical engineer who.need to roughly draw cables for interfere check.purpose. while SW Electrical is dedicated for electrical engineer. How do you think?
@@Leozhang-iMYY Not necessarily. SW Routing comes with a piping, tubing, and an electrical tab. Mechanical folk typically use these features, because it is built into SOLIDWORKS, and almost every user of SOLIDWORKS is a mechanical user... I have seen many folks use the SWElectrical auto route function to route wires, cables, and harnesses - but also mimic hydraulic hoses. In conjunction with SWElectrical on the 2D side, instead of a connector and wire, you can create a fitting and a hose. In my personal opinion, SWElectrical should be called SW Schematics, because it can cover much more than just electrical. But, I'm not a marketing guru, or high enough on the executive food chain to make that decision...🙂

@SOLIDWORKSElectrical
I need both: showing in the drawing and accounting.
@@rendoman888 Give me some time. Let me see if I can build something to show it. It'll be much easier than trying to type it out here... 🙂
Nice Session 👌
