E3.series 2012 Provides Enhanced Support for Automotive, Special Purpose Vehicles

By DE Editors

Zuken has announced enhancements for the automotive and special purpose vehicle industry in E3.series 2012, its electrical and fluid CAD software. According to the company, users across vehicle industries will benefit from fewer iterations between manufacturing engineers and design engineers, leading to reduced design time and improved quality.

The solution includes fully automated connector pin terminal handling. Any modification to the wire gauge will result in automatic selection of the correct connector pin terminal, regardless of where changes are made in the design flow.

Connector pin terminal selection, cavity seal selection and environmental terminal selection are now fully automatic, leading to fewer errors and more streamlined design flow, according to the company.

The solution also includes improved option handling with configurations and packages (a collection of functional additions to a vehicle). Selecting the configuration automatically creates the relevant data for all departments involved in the production process.
