2D or 3D panel design does not need complex MCAD software to be done.
From schematic and panel integration, design rules checks to the automatic interconnection of panel components, an E-CAE tool like E3.panel provides numerous advantages over classic CAD solutions.
With E3.panel and E3.panel Plus, the creation of panels and switchgear becomes smart, fast and easy.
E3.panel allows full documentation of control panels, while
the integrated design rules checks prevent the occurrence of
errors in the manufacturing phase. E3.panel Plus, on the other hand, is an additional tool for E3.panel which allows automatic routing within the panel.
See an example of creating the basic structure of a panel:

Project Rules Checks
Allocation errors can be prevented with the help of areas that maintain clearance and height restrictions, and mounting rail information makes organizing the panels easier.
In addition, mounting locations are automatically highlighted and snapped, which provides immediate feedback and removes the need to use complex offset commands.
Single-Click Automatic Wiring with E3.panel Plus
E3.Panel Plus generates a spreadsheet with the cable list that shows the wire paths and the length of each cable.
Also, auto-routing can be done with just one click.
Schematic and Panel Integration
Components added to sheets are available in the opposite design space, schematic or panel. Thus, any changes made to the dashboard are reflected in all project views automatically.
Automatic Docking Points
The joining of the panel components is possible through the direct fitting points provided by E3.series:
Manufacturing Project
Design data is extracted from the panel in the form of wire lists, which include path and length information. Also, E3.panel has an interface with various equipment for manufacturing, such as:
- Komax yarn preparation machinery
- Perforex drilling
- Punch tools
- Cutting tools.
2D and 3D creation
Flattened views are selected from the database and dragged onto the design sheet:
