world and l-DEAS 3D packaging. ¡Electrical system design and analysis
can be done in TransDesign, prior to the definition of solid models and
then synchronized with the mechanical representation of the layout. In
this process a topological comparison is done to ensure that the design
in the electrical domain is indeed topological^ equivalent to that in the
mechanical domain. In addition, items mastered in IDEAS (mechanical
support and harness dressings) are transferred into the TransDesign
toolset and added into the Unified Bill of Materials.
TransCable is a schematic capture tool for electromechanical systems.
It is integrated with mechanical CAD tools through bi-directional interfaces.
TransCable is also integrated with TransDataBook™ for component
library management.
TransCable is a wire and net-based editor, which manages electrical
signal connectivity between physical components. Logical nets may be
automatically converted to wires and splices. Wires may be interactively
routed between pins of physical components.
TransLayout™ provides a design environment for complex systems from
concept through to manufacturing support. Early in the design process,
system and electrical engineers explore design alternatives for wire
harness and cable systems and assess their impact on manufacturing
cost and physical space requirements.
CAT/TransCableTM provides a tightly integrated bi-dire|ctional interface
between TransCableTM, Mentor Graphic's Design Capture environment, and
Dassault Systèmes' CATIA Electrical Design Solutions (CATIA V4) environment.
