UGS Announces New Add-On Application for Wire Harness in Solid Edge
New application allows electrical and mechanical design team to create digital mock-ups
PLANO, Texas - UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced a new add-on application for wire harness design that provides tight integration between popular electrical circuit design systems and Solid Edge® software.
Solid Edge is the CAD component of the new UGS Velocity Series(TM) portfolio, the first comprehensive, preconfigured portfolio of digital product design, analysis and data management software for the PLM mid-market.
Solid Edge Wire Harness Design is a dedicated process-driven environment for the efficient creation, routing and organization of wires, cables and bundles in a Solid Edge assembly. It allows electrical and mechanical design teams to collaborate on designs to create complete and accurate digital mockups, including essential manufacturing information.
"Solid Edge's Wire Harness functionality provides ease of use for extremely complex designs," said Shawn Oxley, Orbital Systems Ltd., a leading manufacturer of Earth station antenna positioning pedestals and antenna systems for low and medium Earth orbit satellites. "All of our new products are designed in Solid Edge because the software's flexibility to model wiring, tubing and the complete assembly in an intuitive format is essential to our product development."
"As the size and complexity of electrical systems increases, Wire Harness Design becomes a critical part of the digital product design process," said Bill McClure, vice president, UGS Velocity Series. "Our harness wizard and efficient editing tools make this new application easy to use and reduces the need for costly physical prototypes."
Key functional advantages include:
o Automatically generates and routes wires and cables through the Harness Wizard.
o Imports ready-to-use net-list files from popular eCAD systems, including Vesys(TM), Mentor Graphics®, Promis-e®, LTX(TM), Cim-Team(TM).
o Warns of design violations through built-in design error checkers that provide persistent live feedback.
o Leverages Patented BlueDots for path connectivity and dynamic edit for real-time graphical feedback.
o"Smart" path technology quickly routes wires around a design, accurately threading them through clips and other components.
o Automatically places electrical components and connection information and can add mechanical components using a predefined grid.
o Provides complete digital mockups, including manufacturing output.
