Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is a special domain where only the most seasoned Electrical Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) experts reside—at least that’s what many electrical engineers would say. Perhaps there is some truth to this statement. An electrical engineer’s need for vast libraries of components, specialized systems analysis functionality, and the inherent complexities related to the combination of electrical, software, and hardware components have all made their job increasingly complex and challenging. For many of today’s ECAD experts these challenges represent a fact of their day-to-day work life. The rapid emergence of products that are...

Companies are striving to design innovative products while reducing the cost of product development and time-to-market. The pace of product innovation has also increased dramatically and is a primary contributor to companies’ overall profits and market share. Factors companies must address include increasing product complexity, the time and cost to create physical prototypes, and a lack of resources that can perform required analyses and simulations. More and more companies are recognizing the importance of using embedded simulation and analysis tools within their main product development processes and tools to better design their products. Computational...

Industrial machinery (IM) is one of the broadest and most diverse industry segments in the PLM industry. IM is both a market unto itself and a major component of other industry sectors. Industrial machines have a strong presence within many other industries, i.e., process industries. Some of the other industry sectors are built using industrial machinery. Examples of industrial machinery include:

• Specialty process equipment (e.g., food handling or material handling equipment)
• Mechanical drives and power transmission, engines and turbines
• Industrial heating, cooling and environment controls
• Machine tools and high tech machinery and equipment
• Industrial electrical and electronic equipment
• Mining, agricultural...

This CIMdata Brief takes a look at some of the main issues that typically impede an organization’s ability to efficiently and effectively localize product-related content. The Brief describes why companies need to produce and handle product-related documentation in a synchronized manner aligned with the product’s and the organization’s product development process. It also describes why companies need to begin their localization early in the development process and why organizations must seek to implement solutions that manage the componentization of product content so that it can be decomposed and subsequently re-structured in an efficient manner. By doing so, an...
