ELECTRICAL CAD TO MECHANICAL CAD BIDIRECTIONAL EXCHANGE INTERGRATED ECAD TO MCAD TRANSLATOR CircuitWorks™ is a powerful electronic CAD/ECAD translator that enables engineers to create accurate 3D models of circuit boards in SOLIDWORKS® 3D design software. Using CircuitWorks, electrical and mechanical design teams can deliver highly detailed models with automatic synchronization between electrical CAD (ECAD) and mechanical CAD (MCAD), giving your company a competitive edge. As part of the SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D technologies, CircuitWorks enables you to share, compare, update, and track electrical design data to help you more quickly resolve electrical-mechanical integration problems. Mechanical and Electrical Engineers can work closely in creating complex designs, helping to speed up the product development process, save time and development costs, and accelerate time-to-market.

ELECTRICAL CAD TO MECHANICAL CAD EXCHANGE Efciently collaborating on CAD data is one of the prevalent challenges for mechanical and electrical designers. When developing a consumer product such as a laptop, where reducing size and weight while preserving aesthetics are all important criteria, the Electrical Engineer designing the printed circuit board (PCB) and selecting components (such as fans and power supplies) must clearly communicate ECAD data to the Mechanical Engineer. In turn, the Mechanical Engineer needs to clearly communicate back mechanical design changes affecting the design of...
