Today I\u2019m going to take a look at the functionality within E3.series<\/a> that allows you to integrate with MCAD systems including Creo, CATIA and NX, to define cable lengths and harness structures. You can also watch a movie that shows how this is done in real life \u2013 transferring data back and forth from E3.schematic<\/a> to Creo Parametric (aka ProE).<\/p>\n

Electrical and MCAD integration, if you\u2019re not already doing it, has the potential to save you a good deal of time in the electrical product development process. On the most basic level you can cut out the prototype stage needed for calculating wire lengths. If you\u2019re also working with E3.formboard<\/a>, as well as the basic module (E3.cable<\/a>), then you can obtain the entire harness structure.<\/p>\n

Watch the movie below that shows a user working in E3.schematic, exporting data via the E3.3D Routing Bridge<\/a>, opening up Creo, routing the wires, and then exporting back into E3.schematic to get the actual wire lengths.<\/p>\n

For more information about the E\u00b3.3DRoutingBridge for E\u00b3.series, check out the Zuken website here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
