Ever sketch an idea on the back of a cocktail napkin? You probably wouldn\u2019t think twice about ink or led when tablets and electronic media are at your disposal.<\/p>\n<p>For decades electrical engineers have used integrated schematic and layout tools to create printed circuit boards for electronic design. WHAT if you could couple electrical schematics with 3D mechanical CAD to create a 3D electro-mechanical design environment? Sounds like a revolution.<\/p>\n<p>Well in 2012 SOLIDWORKS introduced SOLIDWORKS Electrical, the first 3D electro-mechanical solution based on true real-time collaboration. SOLIDWORKS Electrical allows electrical and mechanical design teams to work simultaneously using highly automated schematic tools alongside SOLIDWORKS mechanical 3D CAD. With the coupling of these traditionally separate disciplines, SOLIDWORKS created the first affordable, highly-efficient collaborative electro-mechanical design environment \u2013 changing the way electro-mechanical designs are achieved.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about this ground breaking technology, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/index.php\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>get in touch with us<\/strong><\/a> or <strong>call us on 0121 544 1400<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Originally posted by Louis Feinstein, Senior Product Manager SOLIDWORKS Electrical, in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/2014\/05\/next-era-of-electrical-innovation-in-solidworks.html\" target=\"_blank\">SOLIDWORKS Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/products\/products-solidworks-electrical\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Find out more on SOLIDWORKS Electrical<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Contact Sales<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2090\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/DoubleRedArrow.png\" alt=\"DoubleRedArrow\" width=\"15\" height=\"10\" \/><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/demo-request\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #830000;\">Request a Demo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mkt.solidworks.com\/emarketing_enu\/start.swe?SWECmd=InvokeMethod&amp;SWEMethod=StartSS&amp;SWEView=URLRouter&amp;SWEApplet=SSRoute&amp;SWENargs=SSId=1-2NJUNBE,SSName=REP+ENG-INTL+SW+3D+for+2D+-+Building+Assemblies,SSLC=,SSCC=,CID=1-2OC1GHW,OID=1-2NJISUY,COID=1-2OC1GHX,PRO=1-NKZ7N\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2273\" src=\"http:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL.png\" alt=\"REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL\" width=\"600\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL.png 600w, https:\/\/www.solidapps.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/REP_3Dfor2DBuildingAssemblies_600x90_SAL-300x45.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we innovate, what makes an idea or solution an evolutionary or revolutionary concept?
