MANAGING MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL DESIGN AS ONE
Manage MCAD and ECAD seamlessly
Working together with MCAD/ECAD
In today’s competitive Electronics and High-Tech market, ECAD, SCHEMATICS and MCAD teams must work together seamlessly in order to get winning products faster to market.
The Challenge
Products are increasingly using electrical and electromechanical components as part of their design. Adding to the fact that development tools and databases are dispersed, many companies are challenged with looking at the “right” version of a released product. Furthermore, it’s challenging to understand the physical status, as ECAD (PDB), Schematics and 3D CAD tools are not the same.
- CAD collaboration and format conversions.
- Assembly management – clash detection.
- Enterprise view of information
