1. Watch the videos
Dassault Systèmes videos hosted on MySolidWorks: they open in a new tab and a free account is enough. Watch them in order.
Electrical ConduitCreate and edit a rigid conduit and its wiring between two electrical enclosures.↗ Getting Started with CircuitWorks - Explore CircuitWorksOpen ECAD files, collaborate through EDMD, build the board in SOLIDWORKS and manage components.↗
2. Key takeaways
The conduit centerline defines the electrical route that runs through it.
Electrical routing components are hybrid components that carry CPoints (connection points).
CircuitWorks opens ECAD files and builds the board and its components in SOLIDWORKS.
EDMD collaboration handles exchanges between the electronics engineer and the mechanical engineer on the board.
Tip
In CircuitWorks, filter the component tree before building the board: you avoid loading hundreds of small components that do not matter for the envelope.
