How ECAD-MCAD INTEGRATION SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MECHATRONIC PRODUCTS THAT ARE INCREASING IN BOTH DEMAND AND COMPLEXITY.

The number of electrical systems is rapidly growing, regardless of 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 wirinig and components and the time and resources required to design an even 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. 

Similarly, sophisticated automation in both design and data exchange handling gives designers more time to focus on design validation and innovation, both of which help improve the overall quality of the design. Since both - the electrical and mechanical design parts - are equally significant, a comprehensive understanding of both aspects ultimately leads to a better product.

Learn in the whitepaper how cost and time-intensive errors in the electrical system or in the wiring harness can be avoided through ECAD-MCAD integration.
