SollidWorks Routing
SollidWorks Routing
(OP)
Has anyone here installed and used SolidWorks routing? I am starting design of some electronics enclosures with cables, and I am curious about it.
What do you think of the software?

Strangely enough, though, I find myself needing to reaquaint myself with it for a project I'm working on now. I had a tutorial at one point, need to dig it up again...

Currently we use AutoCAD to draw our cables. No parametric there.

It is possible to figure out the length of a spline. You know the cross-sectional area and the density. You can ask SolidWorks what the mass is.
I have done the spline method. How far I can go with it depends on how well I can communicate with our electronics people. The automatic routing and pegboard stuff could be useful if the work efficiently.

The main problem is the trouble you will have with configurations in the routing subassemblies , and if you use PDM works you willl get in to trouble using it for the routing files.
Once you get your library of routing parts up an running you will experience a tremendous speed up on your piping/cable modeling.
Best of luck, Bernt Ødegård.
