Electrical systems are rapidly growing, regardless of the industry or application. The increasing size of electrical networks can raise the cost of vehicle development two-fold due to the innate cost of the additional wiring and components and the time and resources required to design an ever more complex system. ECAD-MCAD integration supports the development of mechatronic products that are growing in both demand and complexity. The increased visibility between domains is critical for cross-functional design teams to maximize efficiency and produce high-quality products on shrinking timelines.
The increased visibility between domains is critical for cross-functional design teams to maximize efficiency. Likewise, advanced automation in both design and the handling of data exchange provides designers more time to focus on design validation and innovation, both of which improve overall design quality. With both electrical and mechanical portions of the design being of equal importance, fully understanding both aspects will, in the end, result in a better product.
