CATIA - ELECTRICAL 3D DESIGN &DOCUMENTATIONProvide machinery and consumer goods industry with a dedicatedtoolset for designing and documenting their electrical systems.

Product overview

CATIA - Electrical 3D Design and

Documentation 1 (EC1) provides to F&A and

Consumer Goods markets a powerful

dedicated 3D harness design and

documentation toolset. Based on functional

specifications imported from schematic

systems the user can easily define the

electrical system in the 3D digital mockup.

Out of this the user can easily generate

harness manufacturing documentation. This

new end-to-end product enables the user to

reduced time and cost for creating its

electrical system both in the DMU to avoid

interferences and to create up to date

manufacturing documentation.

Integration with schematic data insures that

physical 3D Design is compliant with

Electrical specifications and allows to

automatically compute wire length in order to

start manufacturing without any physical

Mock Up and to generate the correct harness

diameter based on the wire content of the

bundle.

CATIA - Electrical 3D Design and

Documentation 1 (EC1) takes full advantage

of its integration within mechanical assembly,

improves productivity by allowing users to

automatically update Electrical wiring data.

Accurate definition of the 3D Electrical

systems guarantees that all installation

constraints (i.e. clashes) are solved in the

DMU providing huge gains as there is no

more needs of Physical Mock up.

All design changes in 3D Harness are

automatically propagated in documentation

allowing time saving to maintain up to date

documentation. Fully integrated with CATIA

2D drafting capabilities, CATIA - Electrical 3D

Design and Documentation 1 (EC1) allows

user to generate a dedicated representation

of electrical components in 2D.

The provided functionality and the integrated

concept of Electrical 3D Design and

Documentation 1 (EC1) makes it a dedicated

toolset for the Consumer Goods and F&A

industries providing the right tools for their

specific electrical requirements.

solution

Provides a process oriented solution for

F&A and CG customers

Integration with Interactive Drafting 1 (ID1)

and Generative Drafting for documentation

purpose

Product Key Customers Benefits

Link with Wiring schematic for design and

documentation... Data exchange with

electrical wiring CAD system through XML

data format. Ability to use Electrical

schematic diagram application competitive

in each industry and location (vs generic

electrical diagram from competitors not

adapted to customer need, library of

symbol for example).

Reduce the time and increase quality for

wire harness packaging and

documentation... An optimal management

of design changes (components and wires)

allows time reduction and quality insurance

during the entire product and packaging

documentation process. Engineering changes

from schematic data can be imported in the

3D Design and then automatically transferred

to the documentation.

Deliver an integrated and end to end 3D

wire harness packaging and

documentation solution... All in one

workbench: definition of electrical component

catalogs, interface with wiring schematic, 3D

Harness Routing, automatic wire length

computation, generative and associative

documentation.

Provide a process oriented solution for

F&A and CG customers ... (heavy

machinery, white goods). By allowing virtual

definition and documentation of electrical

systems, EC1 allows customers to reduce

lifecycle management time and

design/production costs. CATIA - Electrical

3D Design and Documentation 1 (EC1)

benefits from CATIA V5: easy to learn and

offers a very intuitive and productive way.

Integration with Interactive Drafting 1 (ID1)

and Generative Drafting for documentation

purpose... Users can easily generate a

dedicated representation of electrical

components in 2D to take benefit of the entire

integration of drafting capabilities. User can

define and manage relevant wire annotations

and dimensions to create full reports for

documentation.
