What's New

This page describes recent changes in Electrical 3D Part Design.

This page discusses:

R2022x FD01 (FP.2205)

Managing Custom Attributes on Electrical Types using Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center

You can now add and manage custom attributes on the following electrical types using the Collaborative Spaces Configuration Center widget: electrical cable, electrical routable, electrical cable reference, electrical geometry, electrical physical system, electrical branch geometry, conductor, electrical conductor, electrical conductor group, electrical port, junction point, cavity, connector connection point, backshell connection point, shell connection point, segment connection point, segment position point, splice position point, and cavity connection point.
Benefits: You have increased flexibility in managing the custom attributes on electrical types.

Sorting Branches inside a Branch Set

A new branch inside a branch set is now placed in alphanumeric order.
Also, the existing branches inside a branch set are now sorted alphanumerically, when the following operations are performed:
  • Creating a new branch.
  • Splitting a branch.
  • Copying or moving a branch to another branch set.
  • Renaming a branch.
  • Duplicating a network.

For the existing unsorted branch sets, you can right-click a branch set and select Branch Set object > Auto Sort.

Benefits: Systematic organization of branches inside a branch set enables you to locate the branches quickly.

R2022x GA

Supporting Polyhedral Geometries

You can now apply commands on polyhedral objects, or use polyhedral geometry as inputs.
Benefits: The app is more efficient and robust.
For more information, see Polyhedral Geometry in Electrical 3D Part Design

Managing the Visual Quality Using Level of Detail (LOD)

You can now manage the visual quality of 3D branches and segments using the level of details to be displayed.
According to the LOD, 3D branches and segments are replaced by a dashed line representing their center line. The loft branches (branches with multiple profiles) now also supported by LOD mechanism.
Benefits: The support of LOD improves the performance while handling the large data and its 3D view handling.
For more information, see Visual Quality Management

Saving the Electrical Data for Accessing it in Interference Check

While saving the electrical data, the a light model for segments and protection is saved with each type of feature (segment, protection, branch, etc.) which can now be used to check interferences.
To do so, specify the preferences at Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Electrical and Electronic Systems > Electrical 3D Design > Data Review.
Benefits: The detailed interference analysis is now possible.
