Rittal's RiCAD 3D solution provides complete design data for enclosures compatible with any 3D CAD system. Designers are increasingly using 3D CAD systems to reduce engineering expenses. Considerable time and money can be saved with Rittal's new and free RiCAD 3D Internet database says Rittal. It can be found at www.rittal.com/RiCAD3D.
Designers will find 3D models that work with virtually all 3D CAD programs for the company's TS8 top enclosure system, the compact AE enclosure systems, complementary system accessories and the TopTherm climate control units.
Until now, designers have had to convert corresponding components from 2D or neutral 3D files and retrospectively design the linkage of the separate components to one other. RiCAD 3D makes this procedure redundant. With its new component library, complete generic 3D CAD data, which can be processed using any current CAD system, is provided.
RiCAD 3D is already integrated in eCabinet, the new planning software for switchgear construction by Eplan Software & Service, and supports the user throughout the entire process chain. Necessary components such as mounting rails, terminals or contactors are positioned by the user directly by mouse click, while minimum distances and exclusion areas are automatically taken into account. Other advantages are offered by the modules 'Routing' for automatic wiring pre-assembly, as well as 'Drilling' and 'NC' for the transmission of data to automatic drilling and milling machines.
