Overcome the challenge of ECAD-MCAD integration in wiring harness design - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Electrical systems continue to grow at a relentless pace across many industries and applications. The increasing size of electrical networks can easily double the cost of platform development due to the innate cost of the additional wiring and components and the time and resources required to design an ever more complex system.

 

Complexity of end-user options can spell further problems for validation during changes and re-designs. As there are more pathways and circuits, the likelihood of unforeseen errors rises. These errors can be incredibly costly. Complexity creates significant challenges for each respective design team. When the product is electromechanical in nature, such as an electrical wire harness, mechanical and electrical designers must account for needs and challenges across both domains.

 

New E/E systems and wiring harness tools facilitate collaboration to reduce design costs, design correction cycles, and quality risk.

 

This webinar will describe how a design flow incorporating modern tools such as Capital Essentials™ software supports collaboration and concurrent design between the electrical and mechanical domains. We’ll discuss many of the trends driving electromechanical complexity, such as vehicle electrification, connectedness, and autonomy. 

 

We’ll describe a framework of cross domain bridges between MCAD tools and the electrical design environment.

 

For NX, an advanced data exchange enables real-time data import and export as well as cross-highlighting for ease of use and analysis during wiring and harness design.
