Streamlining electrical and mechanical collaboration for efficient product development

By Sarah Bartash

In today’s engineering environment, the pressure on both electrical and mechanical design teams is greater than ever. As design complexity increases, meeting deadlines and avoiding wasted time on rectifying errors or redundant tasks becomes crucial. Efficient collaboration between these domains is essential to stay ahead in the competitive market.

Watch our on-demand webinar, “Streamlining Electrical and Mechanical Collaboration for Efficient Product Development,” to discover how to enhance collaboration across teams and reduce the opportunity for errors.

One of the significant challenges faced by design teams is the integration between electrical and mechanical domains. Our webinar will demonstrate how transferring wiring data using Capital Essentials to an MCAD environment like NX can effectively address these challenges. This integration provides mechanical engineers with all the required information for routing tasks, eliminating guesswork and saving valuable time.

By integrating wiring data into the MCAD (mechanical computer-aided design) environment, engineers can quickly and accurately route wires, ensuring the design is correct the first time. This process significantly reduces the need for rework and minimizes potential errors, enhancing overall product quality. Furthermore, the resulting wire lengths can be fed back into Capital Essentials for more precise simulation and analysis, ensuring that both electrical and mechanical designs are perfectly synchronized.

Additionally, the webinar will cover how the 3D harness topology can be repurposed by importing it into Capital Essentials and converting it into a 2D representation. This capability facilitates collaboration between teams by providing a clear, accurate depiction of the harness design, reducing the risk of errors caused by data duplication.

Streamlining the integration between electrical and mechanical domains not only minimizes potential errors but also accelerates the design-to-market timeline. By adopting these best practices, your team can enhance efficiency, improve product quality, and stay competitive in the market.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from industry experts. Watch our on-demand webinar now and take the first step towards more efficient and error-free product development.
