Mentor upgrades harness design software

3 March 2010 Design Automation

Mentor Graphics has launched its next-generation VeSys electrical/wire harness design products serving harness makers and offroad and specialty vehicle manufacturers. Having been redesigned based on a data-centric paradigm, where all information is stored within an integrated database rather than individual files, the VeSys 2.0 suite delivers enhanced design data management, user permissions management and access to InfoHub, Mentor’s powerful user documentation system. These capabilities allow the suite to be more readily adapted to different organisational and IT requirements, simplifying its deployment and broadening the scope of potential applications.

The VeSys 2.0 suite incorporates over 50 functional enhancements suggested by existing VeSys customers. Examples include flexible simulation model creation, a completely new user environment and enhanced drafting capabilities. VeSys products have historically targeted offroad and specialty vehicles, including the design of fire trucks, construction and agricultural vehicles, as well as other industrial equipment with significant electrical/wiring content. Thanks to its new architecture, the new suite now also provides a native data upgrade path to Mentor’s CHS electrical systems design suite, should this be required by increasing design complexity. The VeSys 2.0 suite users can also share component libraries and simulation models with corporate sister divisions who are using CHS electrical systems.
