How to Enhance Your Design Lifecycles for Consumer Electronics with SIMULIA CST

How to Enhance Your Design Lifecycles for Consumer Electronics with SIMULIA CST

From wearables to toasters, just about everything seems to have some level of connectivity. Most small consumer electronic devices, such as cellphones, smart watches, and smart home devices, have complex connectivity, but little room to include antennas and advanced electronics.   

This rapid growth in affordable, yet complex, devices create new challenges that simulation can help solve.

Streamlining Complex Harness Design with Enterprise Harness

Streamlining Complex Harness Design with Enterprise Harness

Modern design processes have a lot of complexity, with multiple design disciplines all contributing to the development of products that are routinely more complex than anything that has come before. 

One of the most common multidisciplinary intersections is between the electrical and mechanical teams, with electrical teams specifying circuits and connections to make a product work, and a mechanical team bearing responsibility for how those wires are routed throughout the system and captured in the product documentation.

How to Simplify Your Wiring With Enterprise Harness

How to Simplify Your Wiring With Enterprise Harness

For those that must develop complex electromechanical assemblies, you know that developing the wire harness in a 3D environment has had its challenges in the past. With the development of 3D modeling tools such as SOLIDWORKS, more companies have chosen to integrate their wire harness into their 3D assemblies. Doing this, however, adds complexity to the 3D assembly and comes with its own set of issues.

Enterprise Harness and Enterprise Layout from Landmark Technologies have simplified the process of designing and documenting your wire harness in a 3D environment.

Solving the Challenges of Complex Wiring and Harness Design

Solving the Challenges of Complex Wiring and Harness Design

The world is seeing technology advance at exponential rates. Products and devices are now more integrated than ever with intelligent electronic systems. This has presented challenges to engineering teams requiring them to combine both electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines. It becomes more apparent when designs incorporate electronic components, PCBs, bundles of wires, and wire harnesses.

The Challenges of Harness and Wire Design

Products and devices are becoming more portable in an effort to be competitive and reduce the overall waste footprint. Harness design has also become a large part of the design process and understanding things like space constraints, wire routes, and connector pin outs becomes an imperative part of the design process. Unfortunately, it also typically becomes the most manual part. Creating these deliverables for harness manufacturing is critical to meet project deadlines and go to market before competitors.
