E/E SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT SOLUTION

Electronic and electrical design software

Transform, simplify and accelerate complex electrical and electronic (E/E) systems development processes. Enable experimentation, simulation and optimization of new ideas and designs to boost your innovation and derive greater value for your business.

Why use electronic and electrical design software?

Products are becoming smarter and more complex as they offer enhanced capabilities, interactivity and adaptability to meet user needs. The E/E systems that support such highly complex functions are also growing in complexity, making the design of electrical, electronic and embedded software and network components more difficult.

To stay competitive, you must find ways to manage this exploding complexity and develop robust E/E systems at an accelerated pace, without compromising quality.

According to Lifecycle Insights’ Engineering Executive Strategic Agenda study:

58%

of engineers report the complexity of electrical distribution systems is increasing or increasing greatly.

66%

of engineers report the complexity of electronics is increasing or increasing greatly.

68%

of engineers report the complexity of embedded software is increasing or increasing greatly.

How do you develop more robust and competitive E/E systems to create more efficient, reliable and functional products — faster and cheaper?

Implement an E/E systems development solution that creates a digital thread, enabling electrical, software, mechanical and other key domains to work together. This integrated approach leads to a more automated development process.
