Electrical Symbols, Electrical Diagram Symbols
Drawing electrical circuit diagrams, you will need to represent various electrical and electronic devices (such as batteries, wires, resistors, and transistors) as pictograms called electrical symbols.
Traditionally these symbols may vary from country to country, but today they are standardized internationally to a large extent.
How to create Electrical Diagram using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. Depending on type of electrical diagram it require variations of Electrical Symbols set. Most of symbols located in the libraries of Electrical Engineering Solution - electrical diagram symbols from the Industrial Engineering Area at the ConceptDraw Solution Park.

What is information architecture? Information architecture (IA) is a broad and abstract term. At the most general sense the information architecture describes the structure of a system, how the different pieces of information are related at the system and represents their relationships. The information architecture term was introduced by Richard Saul Wurman in 1975 and now is commonly used in the context of websites and intranets, information structures and computer systems. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Enterprise Architecture Diagrams Solution from the Management Area is the best software for design information architecture and drawing Enterprise Architecture Diagrams.Picture: What Is Information ArchitectureRelated Solution:How to Build Cloud Computing DiagramPrincipal Cloud Manufacturing →
The term “cloud” is very popular and widely used now, it is a server, data processing centre, or a network which lets to store the data and software, provides access to them, allows to run applications without installation and gives the possibility to process data hosted remotely via the Internet connection. For documenting the Cloud Computing Architecture with a goal to facilitate the communication between stakeholders are successfully used the Cloud Computing Architecture diagrams. It is convenient and easy to draw various Cloud Computing Architecture diagrams in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software with help of tools of the Cloud Computing Diagrams Solution from the Computer and Networks Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.Picture: How to Build Cloud Computing DiagramPrincipal Cloud ManufacturingRelated Solution:ConceptDrawDIAGRAM 17
