iCable Electrical combines iCable Professional App with Auto Router to generate massive cables (wires) automatically from ECAD or user-defined connection data for electrical panels and power systems.

$35.00/month

At less than one-tenth the cost of competing 3D electrical modeling software, iCable Electrical equips Autodesk® Inventor® with high-efficiency tools to bridge mechanical and electrical design workflows. It is purpose-built for teams requiring seamless electromechanical integration.

Core Components:

iCable Professional: Includes the full functionality of iCable Professional App to route and edit all cable types across standard assembly scenarios.

Auto Router: Automatically generates massive 3D cable networks for electrical panels and power systems along optimal paths using shortest-path algorithms.

Seamless Accessibility: Generates standard sweep parts at top-level assemblies—allowing any Inventor user to view, open, and edit components using native Inventor tools without installing iCable. Any cable created by Auto Router can also be edited directly via iCable Professional.

Auto Router Capabilities:

  1. Intelligent Components: Assign electrical intelligence to connector parts and terminals. 
  2. Network Definition: Define 3D routing networks within assemblies using dedicated sketch tools. 
  3. Schematic Mapping: Assign schematic names to assembly occurrences for automated tracking. 
  4. Route One: Select two terminal pins to instantly generate an optimal cable path along the network. 
  5. Route All: Connect all terminal pairs automatically using connection data imported from Excel. 
  6. Map & Go: Import schematic connection data directly from ECAD-exported Excel files, map components automatically, and generate all assembly cables in one step. 
  7. Specialized Wiring: Model jumpers and multi-conductor cable runs. 
  8. Fill Ratio Analysis: Check bundle fill ratios at any selected location along the route. 
  9. Comprehensive Reporting: Export cable reports and cutting lists detailing length, outer diameter (OD), color, origin/destination, cable lugs, and path trajectories. 
  10. Auxiliary Tools: Access productivity utilities for cable markers, cable ties, and projecting mounting holes/cuts onto back panels.
