Unfortunately, in these days of electromechanical engineering, a LOT of you are dealing with just such a challenge. After all, there\u2019s mechanical in that electromechanical word. I feel your pain. Siemens does, too. That\u2019s why they purchased an industry-leading electronic design automation company in 2017 \u2013 Mentor Graphics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/01\/SE-Wire-Harness-1edited-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> <em> By enabling data to flow seamlessly between the 2D wiring, 2D harness and 3D MCAD domains, teams can understand and trace the impact of design decisions across domains. <\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mentor Graphics was founded in 1981 by three entrepreneurs, working on computer-aided engineering (CAE) efforts. In 2002, the company acquired Innoveda, adding wire harness design and printed circuit board design tools to their stable of products. The rest is history. Today, Mentor leads the field with industry-proven electrical design products that are used across the globe, from the smallest products to the world\u2019s largest enterprises.
