Electrical Panel Design and Wire Harness Software

Paneldes Panel is the 3D CAD design module of EDS used for the creation of Electrical Panels. Paneldes software facilitates and enhances the construction of electrical models and electrical panel general arrangements, and performs wire routing, filling, and wire length calculations, as well as interference analysis and materials reporting.

Paneldes Panel software is for switchgear manufacturers requiring technical documentation and CAD diagrams, such as electrical panel layouts, wire harness designs, and general arrangements prior to manufacture.

Compatible with AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, and LusoCAD. →

Features

Electrical Panel Layout Design

Design accurate panel layouts with automatically placed real components and live 3D rendering.

  • Parametric 3D and 2D shapes for all panel components — enclosures, devices, terminals, instruments, ducting, fittings, and accessories — with automated 3D SNAP.
  • Automated model creation and device insertion from a database, with database-driven component sizing via Elecdes catalog databases [ODBC].
  • Automated “incremental” tag name defaulting with user-programmable tagnames; component selection from one lines, block diagrams, and final circuit diagrams.
  • Database-driven global editor for mass updates to tags, specs, and sizes across multiple components in a single operation.
  • Automated 3D Wire Harness diagram with integral labelling and fill intelligence.
  • Automated 2D exploded view / GA generation and dimensioning.

Reporting

Generate complete panel documentation automatically from your design data.

  • Automated bill of materials, quantity summary, and wire label list.
  • Component placement and tag name duplication cross checks.
  • Automated wire cutting, wire length, duct fill and route calculation and optimisation — suitable for wire cutting and labelling machines.
  • “Query” function for conductor and raceway segment details; raceway network consistency checker highlights potential problems.
