SolidWorks Electrical Solutions for Control Panel Design

Image
Control panel Control Panel is a cabinet made up of sheet metal form, which enhouses lot of electrical and electronic components. Ultimately, designed and built to meet the customer Automation needs. Challenges Faced in Control Panel Design: Optimizing the Routing of Wires to save Cost Need for Intelligence in Sheetmetal handling to make immediate changes Respond to Customer Requirements or Design Change and update the Project Interference and Clearance Check between Wiring and Electrical Components  Accurate generation of BOM/BOQ (Bill of Materials/Quantity)  Control Diagram & Power Diagram creation Reducing Manual errors and Mismatch of Electrical Components. Solidworks Workflow for Control Panel Design: Control Panel Design starts with the creation of SLD (Single Line Diagram), followed by the detailed Schematic diagram.             Schematic Diagram...

Adaptive Methods of Meshing

SolidWorks Simulation offers the user for error estimation with the adaptive methods. These methods are mainly focussed on the approach of improving the accuracy of results for the simulation studies. In the domain of approach towards the accuracy of results, FEA provides major development in estimating errors. Thus, mesh refinement has major role towards this development process. The adaptive meshing is a tool which iteratively varies the mesh settings for the model without the manual interference. SolidWorks Simulation has two adaptive methods i.e. p-adaptive & h-adaptive. The h-adaptive meshing physically adjusts the size of the cell in areas of the model where smaller mesh is required. The p-adaptive meshing normally adjusts the polynomial order of the mesh to improve the accuracy of the results. The user can directly select any of the option inside the software. h-adaptive meshing technique: Varies the refinement level Varies the density of the mesh ...
