About tracesoftware international

With more than 25 years of exper ience, Trace Sof tware internat ional is one of the wor ldwide leaders in sof tware development and

ser v ices for engineer ing, with unique market knowledge, cont inuous investments in R&D, and the steady dr ive for innovat ion as

several industr ies have placed Trace Sof tware solut ions as the most valuable and appreciated sof tware tools for engineers in the

wor ld.

Thanks to strategic a l l iances with leading companies as Dassaul t Systèmes, PTC, RS Components, or Tracepar ts, our cont inuous

sof tware evolut ion is guaranteed, where our major goal is to enhance our customers’ product iv i t y.

Considered by our customers as their long term technological par tner, Trace Sof tware Internat ional is focused in sof tware solut ions

that ensure a user f r iendly exper ience, process automation, rel iable documentat ion and a f lex ib le work f low.

Electr ical engineer ing companies provide their customers with their exper t ise and car r y out on their behal f comprehensive studies based

on actual requirements. They must meet a l l requirements of the project management f rom the in i t ia l design to commissioning. Seek ing

qual i f ied suppl iers is an impor tant par t of their task as much as the need to produce project speci f icat ion repor ts which are as complete as

possible. The project documentat ion must be done within the speci f ied durat ion with the highest qual i t y to meet deadl ines and to gua-

rantee a high level of product ion and ser v ice. To meet their customers’ expectat ions, engineer ing design companies have to be equipped

with ef fect ive solut ions.

With a large number of features and contents, elecworks™ al lows to reach a high level of detai led documentat ion f rom scratch. Among

other features: mult isymbol reference al lows design complex electr ical protect ions, in conjunct ion with the large possibi l i t ies to

generate customizable repor ts; the l ink with elec calc a l lows to create comprehensive and detai led documentat ion in ever y single project.

Ensur ing reduced development cost whi le providing greater accuracy are some of the chal lenges this industr y is facing nowadays. This

requires f lex ib le, innovat ive and precise solut ions that enable project development in a shor ter t ime whi le apply ing the highest qual i t y

standards. Reduction in development cycles with product iv i t y improvement and product standardizat ion wi l l benef i t f rom economies of

scale. Modular projects has become necessar y to ensure as faster t imes-to-market, whi le reducing manufactur ing cost.

elecworks™ includes al l the necessar y funct ions to sat isf y the needs of these industr ies, providing al l necessar y features to standardize

and automate these k ind of projects; for example projects macros and mult i-page macros, smar t PLC’s management, pneumatics &

hydraul ics components, or the integrat ion with 3D CAD sof tware to avoid manufactur ing er rors.

Automation & machinery

ACTIVITY SECTORS - elecworks™ for PTC® applicationselecworks™ for PTC® Creo® enables you to easi ly integrate your e lectr ical schematic design from elecworks to your PTC® Creo®

project. Designers can place 3D versions of a l l e lectr ical par ts into their model and run wires/cables/harnesses in 3D to connect

al l e lectr ical equipment. This enables you to plan specif ic locations & paths and so determine accurately wires/cables/harness

lengths before equipment is bui l t; this ensures consistent manufactur ing and reduces scrap and costs. Your 2D schematics and

3D models are synchronized bi-directional ly in real-t ime, so that a l l changes are automatical ly updated.

Transpor t industr ies such as aeronaut ics, ra i lway, automotive and ship bui lding are the most demanding in terms of qual i t y; inaccuracies

and t ypographical er rors are not acceptable.

Factors such as safety, maintenance and cost reduct ion are key in t ranspor t industr y. The complex i t y of t ranspor t projects with a large

number of cables and electronic devices require specia l ized tools to ensure project accuracy, a bet ter lead t ime, and a lower overal l

cost. Integrat ion with other plat forms and interdepar tmental col laborat ion are a lso required for cost ef fect iveness.

Panel Bui lder industr y is cur rent ly undergoing a major change where t ime is a key factor and adapting to changes in wir ing diagrams

are rucia l. From the t ime an of fer becomes an order, the purchasing, mechanical and electr ical depar tments star t work ing in

paral le l and need complete information on the project; in real t ime, due to last minute changes f rom the customer or f rom the

supply-chain. In order to enhance panel bui lders per formance, and to ensure a quick del iver y of projects whi le keep data consistent a l l

a long the project, i t is necessar y to have f lex ible solut ions that enable to work f rom scratch f rom any area of the project.

To meet panel bui lders industr y needs, elecworks™ proposes major features such as mult iuser l icensing, that a l low several users to work

at same in the same project, whi le keeping data consistent in an SQL database, and the largest par ts catalog in the market, prov ided by

Tracepar ts (wor ldwide leader in digi ta l contents for engineer ing), to create real ist ic cabinet layouts, reducing the t ime-to-market.

elecworks™ for PTC® Creo® technology enables faster development of schematical ly def ined electr ical systems that can be readi ly

implemented in the 3D CAD models. Real-t ime synchronization of the electr ical schematics and 3D CAD models enable uni f ication

of the bi l l of mater ia ls (BOM) between the electr ical system and the mechanical design; helping to e l iminate errors result ing from

design changes.

ADVANTAGES & BENEFITS

Electrical 3D CADEmbedded bidirectional interface integrates electrical

schematic design data from elecworks™, with the PTC®

Creo® 3D CAD Model.

Harness developmentCreate schematic driven harness design in the 3D model,

utilizing real-time bidirectional functionality coupled with

powerful routing, flattening and automatic documentation

capabilities.

Engineering collaborationelecworks™ for PTC® Creo® philosophy enhances concur-

rent engineering and coordination between electrical and

mechanical departments in real-time, simplifying workflow

and methodology.

Real-time synchronizationProject design data is synchronized in real-time, bidirec-

tionally between schematics and the 3D model, within a

multi-user collaborative environment. This synchronization

allows key information, such as BOM and design data, to be

unified between design disciplines and users.

Auto-routing technologyAdvanced elecworks™ for PTC® Creo® routing technology

provides highly simplified autorouting of wires, cables, and

harnesses from within a 3D CAD model. Detailed routing

information is available instantly to all project users.

Improve time-to-market Coordinating electrical and mechanical functions

enables teams to work in parallel to save time.

Specific time-saving benefits include combining mechanical

and electrical BOMs to streamline production planning and

faster planning of cable/wire/harness paths using the 3D

model.

Streamline developmentFaster design, better communication between departments,

synchronized plans, up-to-date documentation and shorter

time-to-market all add up to reduced costs throughout the

product lifecycle.

Eliminate costsWith your 3D model and schematic linked bidirectionally in

real-time, you prevent mistakes and additional costs, as you

create a combined Bill Of Materials (BOM) for electrical and

mechanical.

Reduce defects With items selected during schematics creation added to

the 3D model, you can ensure fit, check for collision/clash,

calculate lengths, plan for efficient material usage and

reduce scrap.

Consistent assembly Including electrical information from the schematic in the 3D

model enables detailed planning, documentation and visuali-

zation of overall product design, helping to ensure consistent

assembly from unit to unit.

elecworks™ for PTC® Creo® enhance the col laboration between electr ical and mechanical depar tments, increasing their

ef fectiveness. With a Microsof t SQL database and an ef fective user inter face (with i ts own graphical engine), e lecworks™

includes the most advanced features nowadays in the market, a l lowing to produce faster and complete project documentation in

a shor t per iod of t ime.
