Stop losing time on design conflicts between mechanical and electrical teams
Today's products are complex electromechanical systems. From automotive ADAS to smart devices, seamless collaboration between MCAD and ECAD domains is critical for first-pass success.
This ebook addresses the critical challenge of cross-domain collaboration in modern product development where mechanical and electrical engineering teams must work seamlessly together. As products become increasingly complex electromechanical systems—from automotive ADAS to smart consumer devices—traditional isolated design approaches lead to costly late-stage conflicts, design re-spins and missed launch windows. The guide explores proven collaboration frameworks including real-time bidirectional synchronization using IDX standards, synchronized component libraries for PCB design, three-stage harness design workflows and browser-based electrical CAD integration. Engineering managers and technical teams will learn practical strategies to eliminate design conflicts, reduce time-to-market and achieve first-pass success through integrated MCAD/ECAD workflows.
