Using Xpedition and Siemens NX for ECAD-MCAD Collaboration

Xpedition Enterprise offers a platform for efficient collaboration between the ECAD and MCAD domains so they can optimize their electronics designs within tight form-factor constraints while still meeting quality, reliability, and performance requirements.

Seamless ECAD-MCAD collaboration for engineers and designers

Xpedition Enterprise, along with Siemens® NX, break down the barriers between the ECAD and MCAD design domains through seamless tools integration. Tight integration ensures that engineers and designers in both disciplines can collaborate and work on the design simultaneously on product development throughout the entire design flow.

ProSTEP EDMD data exchange used in Xpedition and Siemens NX, an intelligent data model, allows an incremental data exchange between ECAD MCAD items that are being collaborated on instead of the previously one-way bulk data exchange of finished design work with no intelligence on what the data being exchanged really is.

The consistent, iterative communication helps teams avoid and eliminate costly re-spins of printed circuit board designs and mechanical enclosures.
