Electromechanical

Products today incorporate more advanced electronics, in a more complex and smaller mechanical package than ever before.  To design these products successfully requires tight integration and collaboration among ECAD and MCAD development teams.  Significant enhancements were made to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 in the areas of routed systems, Pro/ECAD, and integration with InterComm.

Enhancements covered in this Tutorial:

• Ribbon Cabling
• ECAD-MCAD Collaboration

Highlights of some other enhancements:

• Cabling Design
  • Improved sub-harness control
  • Automated checking for network continuity
  • Support for External Simplified Reps (ESR)
  • Improved stability for locations with missing references
  • Autorouting shields
  
  
• Pro/ECAD
  • Improved hole performance
  • Incremental updates
