Trace: Elecworks

Elecworks is product CAD for design of electrotechnical parts of the project, instrumentation and automated control systems and an APCS of plants and the enterprises.

2019: Acquisition of a product line of Elecworks by Dassault Systèmes company

On February 21, 2019 the Dassault Systèmes company announced agreement signature about acquisition of a line of software products for project development of automation and power supply of the elecworks installations at Trace Software company, the developer of software solutions and services in the field of industrial design. Acquisition of assets of elecworks will allow Dassault Systèmes to simplify and accelerate development of integrated solution for work with mechatronics based on platform 3DEXPERIENCE. Users of SOLIDWORKS will be able to solve more effectively problems of power supply during creation of intellectual products, claim in Dassault Systèmes.

Within the agreement on transfer of assets Dassault Systèmes will purchase at Trace Software 100% of a line of software products for project development of automation and power supply of the elecworks installations and also the corresponding intellectual property. Besides, the team of 21 employees of elecworks, including software developers, technical support specialists and product quality engineers who specialize in drawing up electric circuits will join Dassault Systèmes. Software products of elecworks offer opportunities of circuitry design, design of electric boards of management, an electrical wiring, cable systems and connections which will form the basis of the Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS Electrical applications. These applications are designed to optimize joint work of teams of engineers on a mechanical equipment and electrical engineers and will help to create more exact projects. Within the transaction of Dassault Systèmes will also purchase the library containing more than half a million electric characters and passports of the most widespread electric components used during the work on projects.

The so-called Internet of impressions (Internet of Experiences) is a complex of intelligent and autonomous solutions in which by means of digital technologies products integrate, the nature and life in the physical world – develops thanks to the growing market of smart and attached devices which total quantity, according to forecasts, will make about 30 billion pieces by 2020. The companies working in the field of high technologies, production of industrial equipment, power and in other industries should use sensors, management systems and possibilities of the intellectual products to make these impressions, however separate processes of mechanical and electric design are capable to complicate product development, noted in Dassault Systèmes.

According to the statement of Dassault Systèmes, thanks to assets of elecworks the company will be able to optimize application development of SOLIDWORKS Electrical and to create solutions for design of electrical systems based on platform 3DEXPERIENCE, combining the advanced practicians and technologies of design and the SOLIDWORKS applications for mechanical design within general management by research and development. Users of SOLIDWORKS for whom available applications are necessary for implementation of digital transformation of the development processes of electrical systems will be able to seize the opportunities of drawing up electric circuits and creation of documentation, approaches of design using databases, advantages of optimization of workflows with a possibility of transition from schemes to 3D models and also change management in the project.

Completion of the transaction on transfer of assets is expected in March, 2019.

2015

Output to the market of the Russian Federation

On August 3, 2015 the Russian of a CAD company announced an output to the market of the Russian Federation^[1].

Elecworks is software for project development of automation and power supply of installations, 2015

Description. Specific Features

For August, 2015 Elecworks provides to electrical engineers and automation specialists the powerful tool for fast and reliable design, release of the project documentation in the field of electrical equipment, automatic equipment, an APCS, instrumentation and automated control systems and other directions.

The packet of a CAD is intended, first of all, for the companies of the using SolidWorks as the instrument of creation of mechanical constructions, elements of electric circuits.

The software of Elecworks is suitable, as for the certain user executing the project and for the command which is at the same time working on the large-scale project. Elecworks allows to set design data, by means of options:

• flowchart,
• cable connections
• abilities to manage components.

Considerable part of the project can be executed before final end of the developed schemes.

Features of a product

• Works at own independent full-function multilingual platform having the Russian-language interface - it excludes need of installation of other platforms for work;
• It is localized on the Russian regulations;
• The cost of the license 10 times less the majority of the most popular products for design electricians in the territory of Russia.
• Provides release of a complete set of documentation on the Russian standards.
