Innovationen und bereichsübergreifendes, synchronisiertes Programmmanagement
Interactive Design
Engineering teams typically work in many abstractions of electrical designs which can become challenging to integrate and manage as work progresses towards final deliverables. With Capital, engineers have a robust authoring environment capable of supporting a range of abstractions (ie. block diagrams, logical subsystems, wiring designs, etc.) while also providing robust automation between them to ensure digital continuity and traceability. This enables cohesive design development across abstractions while also providing integrated design verification to ensure the requirements for designs have been satisfied with optimal quality. As wiring designs mature with content and are integrated with 3D applications to ensure holistic design completion, harness designs can then be updated easily to ensure manufacturing is ready-to-build.

Electrical faults can have a huge impact on the success or failure of a product in the market and simulation and analysis play a key role in the early verification of the electrical system – where redesign is cheaper and simpler. Electrical simulation and analysis was once the domain of specialist experts only. Simplicity and ease-of-use are key features of Capital simulation and analysis tools, bringing design verification capabilities into the hands of every electrical designer. Simulation and analysis functions are standard features allowing system and wiring designers to check voltages and current flows, simulate switch configurations and failure modes. Capital rigorously tests all possible circuit states, performing FMEA analysis to identify all failures and quantify their risk and probability. It also tests all possible circuit states, identifying unintended functionality, such as sneak path faults, and can also detect missing or unimplemented functionality. Capital can extend the simulation capability from steady-state analysis to transient analysis.
Capital is a powerful graphical and design-management environment for authoring both logical connectivity designs (signals), and physical wiring designs (wires, splices, multicores, etc). It can be used to design both sub-systems and to accomplish interactive system integration, i.e. the merging of multiple sub-systems into the physical structure. It is much more than a schematic design tool, as it provides a foundation for a complete Capital electrical design flow: from logical concept design through to harness design. Standard capabilities include an easy-to-use DC simulation facility, a powerful parts library, a symbol authoring facility with pre-defined standard symbols. There are also extensive project and data management tools that automate many of the time-consuming & error-prone tasks that are usually performed manually, by a designer.
