Новая версия E³.series 2011 работает быстрее и эффективнее

Functional Design Planning

Since the introduction of Zuken’s functional planning tool, E³.Functional Design, in 2010, the team has developed this further to make the up-front sketch–pad type planning phase even quicker and easier. The functional blocks are now dynamic, enabling a user to create blocks on-the-fly that can be updated with a complete library part later in the design process. Rather than needing a library item to be defined, the designer can simply sketch out the design and come back to the details later. There are also numerous enhancements to the display, search and highlight functions that enable designers to recognise changes and similarities when making movements and placements within the functional design.

Designing Variants in the Physical World

Variant management capabilities have been advanced within E³.panel, the physical panel design module of E³.series, enabling the creation of completely different variant panel layouts within the same design. This allows the designer to optimize the panel layout in each variant, if desired, by using an entirely different size backplate, rails, and component placement for each. There are no unnecessary spaces in designs for components that might be present in another variant, and wire routing can be entirely different to optimize wire length and production costs.

Details Make the Difference

Zuken has made additional enhancements in detailed areas for everyday users that have been exceptionally well received. Connector handling has been improved to simplify the design process with functions such as supporting bulkhead connectors, connectors with pins within pins, and connectors with several plug sides. This includes the flexibility to attribute a different signal name to a connector part on each side of the connecting point, improved automatic selection of mating connectors, plus checks to verify you have used valid plug connectors.

Always keeping E³.series up-to-date, the user interface is fully Windows®  7 compliant and runs natively on both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

Signal Classes

Signals can now be classified into groups that enable users to de-clutter their drawings. This classification system allows users to connect signals with different names (such as different ground signals) to a common point in the design.

E³.series – the Popular Choice

Zuken’s commitment to electrical engineers the world over, across industries is shown by the strong presence with more than 2,000 customers using more than 25,000 seats of the software. Find out more about this new story on the Zuken blog http://blog.zuken.com
