Pro/ENGINEER ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Extension

Accelerate design collaboration

Delivering innovative electromechanical designs is challenging for even the most experienced teams. Communicating design changes between disparate electrical and mechanical design solutions can be cumbersome and inefficient. Coordinating design efforts between functionally or geographically dispersed teams adds even more complexity to the challenge. The Pro/ENGINEER ECAD-MCAD Collaboration Extension can help you overcome these obstacles and improve design collaboration between electrical and mechanical designers. PTC is the only MCAD vendor offering this new technology, which leverages both Pro/ENGINEER and ProductView. This technology will help you improve your electromechanical detailed design processes, reduce collaboration errors, and get products to market faster.

Benefits

• Next generation technology to enhance today’s IDF-based flows to identify changes and collaborate on incremental changes to speed up the process
• Enable mechanical and electrical engineers to communicate more frequently and with less disruption
• Identify and manage unforeseen consequences of a change across disciplines earlier to reduce late-stage changes
• Enable mechanical engineers to better understand impact on electrical engineers, before they propose a change.
• Communicate design changes faster with the ability to show incremental changes and cross-highlight between MCAD and ECAD models
• Propose, accept, or reject changes synchronously or asynchronously
