E3.3DPanelBridge
E3.3DPanelBridge connects mechanically defined installation spaces with the electrical design workflow in E3.Panel. Mechanical layouts can be transferred into E3.Panel and used as the basis for electrical component placement and panel design. Electrical engineers continue to work within the familiar E3.Panel environment while taking the actual mechanical installation space into account. This is particularly useful for machines, vehicles, modular equipment and other applications where electrical components must be integrated into constrained or complex mechanical environments.
Maintain electrical design and documentation within E3.Panel.
Visualize electrical component placement in the surrounding 3D mechanical context.
Support iterative mechanical updates and improve coordination between mechanical and electrical engineering.
Work with Mechanical Installation Geometry in E3.Panel
E3.3DPanelBridge transfers mechanically defined structures such as mounting plates, mounting rails and cable ducts into E3.Panel.
These structures provide the physical context for electrical component placement while E3.Panel retains the electrical engineering information required for design, routing and documentation.
Electrical devices such as terminals, contactors and circuit breakers can therefore be positioned within a layout that reflects the available installation space.
Validate Electrical Layouts in 3D
Once electrical components have been placed in E3.Panel, E3.3DPanelBridge allows the resulting arrangement to be visualized within the mechanical 3D environment.
This provides engineers with a clearer understanding of component placement and available space and supports earlier review of the electrical layout in its actual mechanical context.
Support Iterative Mechanical Changes
Mechanical installation layouts frequently change during product development.
E3.3DPanelBridge supports the exchange and updating of mechanical installation information so that electrical design can remain aligned with evolving mechanical conditions.
Existing electrical engineering work can therefore be retained while changes to mounting structures and installation geometry are incorporated into the design workflow.
Extend the E3.Panel Design Environment
E3.3DPanelBridge complements E3.Panel rather than replacing it as the electrical design environment.
Mechanical engineering defines the installation space, while electrical component placement, routing and documentation remain within E3.Panel.
This combination helps engineering teams coordinate mechanical installation constraints with electrically intelligent panel design.
