The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform is made up of a wide range of \u2018Roles\u2019 used for different disciplines and applications. CATIA V6 Electrical requires unique roles and within these roles are certain \u2018Applications\u2019 with different responsibilities when designing an electrical system.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

There are two roles that everyone needs for both 2D (logical) and 3D (physical) electrical design. These are called the \u2018Collaborative Business Innovator\u2019 (IFW) and \u2018Collaborative Industry Innovator\u2019 (CSV) roles.<\/p>\n

CATIA V6 Electrical Required Foundational Roles<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Collaborative Business Innovator<\/a> brings the connected environment into an entire organization. This role allows people from inside or outside of your company to securely view and share content while in a web browser. It also lets you do all of the work in a single location from design to market. You can add the power of collaboration and data sharing to your 3DEXPERIENCE platform and create a hub for your designs in a convenient place where you can collaborate on the cloud from anywhere.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Collaborative Industry Innovator<\/a> is best described as a product data management tool. This browser-based role gives PDM additional functionality by letting users compare, markup, and view realistic CAD data. This provides a collaborative way to monitor iterations and changes to your electrical designs.<\/p>\n

2D Electrical Schematic Role Breakdown<\/h2>\n

Collaborative Business Innovator and Collaborative Industry Innovator are the base roles you need for the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. Together, these tools integrate seamlessly with the roles that make up CATIA Electrical. For the creation of schematics and 2D logical designs, you’ll need the \u2018Systems Schematic Engineer\u2019 (TIC<\/a>) role. This tool allows designers to create intelligent schematics for wiring, cabling, piping\/tubing, and HVAC systems. Let\u2019s look at some of the capabilities<\/p>\n
