Wire Harness:

• Integrated process coverage to reduce cycle time from design to manufacturing
• Automatic wire length calculation and definition
• Quick electrical space reservation within the product, avoiding physical prototypes
• Reduce errors by validating the wire harness & cable assemblies installation within the virtual product

Piping and Tubing:

• Improve product performance and quality thanks to standard and materials specification taking account design rules, automatic parts placement and multi-representation
• Full associativity between 2D schematics and 3D Tube & pipe design
• Improves design time with an intuitive user interface to annotate, validate the model, query data and generate appropriate report information

• Preliminary Layout

  • CATIA Systems Logical 3D Architecture (TDS)
    Generation of 3D space reservations and pathway connections within the logical system to quickly investigate several 3D layout alternatives early in the product design process. You can navigate through both the 2D logical layout and the 3D representation. The intuitive CATIA Live Shape user interface supports the creation of the logical architecture. Pathway routing is child’s play as the pathway is refreshed on the fly during routing.

  
  
  
  

• Electrical Systems

  • CATIA 3D Wire Harness Design (EHD)
    Process-specific solution for designing physical wire harnesses by logical specifications. The realistic simulation of the deformation of flexible harnesses takes into account environmental conditions like gravity as well as the physical non-linear behavior of the harness.
    
    
  • CATIA Wire Harness Documentation and Formboard (EFB)
    Flattening of Electrical Harnesses for 3D manufacturing Formboard design. It provides a set of functions to manipulate the flattened harness to ensure successful design between harness designers and manufacturing.
    
    
  • CATIA Systems Logical Electrical Design (ELS)
    Integrated workflow from Systems Architecture up to 3D Wire Harness Design and Manufacturing. The integrated Functional Logical Editor provides features as: create Functional & Logical decomposition, define ports on function & logical components, connect functional & logical components, 2D diagram representations of design, and manage implement links within the RFLP structure.
    
    
  • CATIA Electro-Mechanical Circuit Board (PCB)
    Creation of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in context with mechanical assemblies. Through the bidirectional interface IDF (Intermediate Data Format) with industry-standard electrical CAD systems, you can retrieve the design of your electronic components to create a complete digital mock-up of a PCB. The interface also enables you to send pertinent information, such as board outlines and keep-out areas of spatial and technological constraints, back to the electrical CAD system.

• Fluidic Systems

  • CATIA Piping and Tubing Design (PTD)
    Definition of a physical system of both rigid and flexible pipes and tubes from basic routing definition to detailed design. Users can perform a wide variety of queries and analysis to inquire about the specific properties of any object and generate reports or drawings at any time.
    
    
  • CATIA Generative Piping & Tubing (PTA)
    Complements Piping & Tubing Workbench by providing advanced process-driven authoring and editing capabilities. It takes material properties into account so that you get a realistic appearance with the actual bending on your pipe and tubes. It also provides a rule driven automatic part placement.
