The ELECTRIX ROCKET software supports multiple disciplines, including electrical engineering, P&ID and fluid engineering, cabinet design, building automation, and electrical installation planning. The update delivers new features and improvements aimed at streamlining engineering, integration and documentation.
Users can now transfer a symbol's formatting to others with a single click, saving time on repetitive tasks, while custom column configurations can be tailored and saved for future use. The option to preview symbols before placement to make precise connections easy has been added, as have several other improvements designed to enhance the overall workflow and usability of the software.
The update offers several powerful benefits aimed to making documentation more accurate and less complicated. For example, users can now export analyses to custom Excel templates with automatic formatting and formulas. New dimensioning options, such as chain and ascending dimensions, enable precise and clear project visualisation across all disciplines.
When it comes to engineering, the Terminal Manager tool now supports more complex terminal structures, with the maximum number of definable levels increasing from 10 to 50. Additionally, users can flexibly edit data points within symbols, either overwriting existing data points or inserting new ones in previously empty symbols.
The update also delivers robust integration benefits. The new interface for the Phoenix Contact clipx WIRE assist system streamlines automated production processes. Users can export all wiring data, including length, cross-section, size, labelling, and slinging equipment, directly to the Phoenix Contact system. This allows semi-automatic assembly of wires, significantly saving production time and enhancing efficiency.
Alin Dragan, Product Manager at WSCAD, said: "This update reinforces our commitment to providing users with the best experience possible. ELECTRIX ROCKET brings significant enhancements to electrical engineering workflows, making daily tasks more efficient and intuitive. Our ongoing dedication to continuous improvement ensures that our users have access to the most advanced tools and features available in the E-CAD industry."
The updated software is available for rental, with rental licenses offering free updates, upgrades, and extended maintenance services. Installing the update is straightforward and can be accessed by simply launching the ELECTRIX ROCKET software as normal.
