The new E³.WireWorks release was developed in cooperation with SolidWorks R&D resources in order to allow electrical and mechanical engineers to better access the Zuken solution from the SolidWorks software environment.  E³.WireWorks is additionally integrated with SolidWorks' Enterprise PDM system providing features such as lifecycle support, library and connectivity data exchange as well as integrated 3D-cabinet layout and hierarchical design support.

E³.WireWorks is a registered DS SolidWorks 'Solution Partner' product.  "The Solution Partner Program was developed to help customers easily identify products that have been released and tested to be compatible with the current shipping version of SolidWorks software" said Nick Iwaskow, Manager, Alliances at DS SolidWorks.  "We are encouraged by Zuken's integration with SolidWorks software and their commitment to market their E³.WireWorks product as part of our program."
