DesignSpark Electrical is a comprehensive electrical CAD software package, the key highlight of which is to save time and avoid mistakes. It is suitable for control panel, mechanical and electrical system design. Through this free new tool, you can access the electrical CAD function, which is aimed at many enterprises that cannot afford the high price of the existing commercial electrical CAD software seats. DesignSpark Electrical greatly optimizes the design method of electrical and automation systems, which helps to enhance the design ability of RS customers and help them participate in market competition more efficiently.
The key advantage of DesignSpark Electrical software lies in the integrated component library consisting of more than 250,000 components and parts, of which 80,000 are from Schneider Electric and 10,000 are from RS, which can be easily added to customer designs. This intuitive high-function software also has other advantages, including intelligent and professional electrical design tools, real-time reference and validity check, which can create accurate 2D panel design drawings, which will help designers save time and reduce errors. The software also has a built-in bill of materials (BOM) quotation function, which allows customers to order the required parts for the design quickly and easily through RS.
"The high cost and training time required by the existing commercial electrical CAD tools have created huge obstacles for many companies to adopt this kind of software," said Glenn Jarrett, global product marketing director of RS Components. "The release of DesignSpark Electrical has eliminated these cost obstacles in one fell swoop, and passed on the key advantages of electrical CAD to all engineers, so that they can execute the design more quickly, accurately and efficiently. In the past five years or so, RS has continuously increased its investment and expanded its cooperation with world-leading partners such as Schneider Electric through the DesignSpark program, bringing important design tools, component libraries and other large resources to engineers working in the fields of electronics, machinery and electrical design.
