Industry Summary Articles

At this year’s SPE Offshore Europe exhibition, computer aided engineering (CAE) software expert EPLAN will be showcasing its latest fluid system and harness design products. Also on show will be other software packages from the company’s popular range, which cover virtually every aspect of industrial system design.
EPLAN Fluid is an efficient and intuitive engineering tool for the design and automatic documentation of fluid power systems in applications that include hydraulics, pneumatics, cooling and lubrication. A key benefit of the EPLAN CAE platform is that it connects fluid power engineering with all other engineering disciplines so that design tasks can be executed in parallel. This approach makes the entire engineering process more efficient and less time-consuming, as well as reducing the risk of errors.
EPLAN Harness proD, which is also spotlighted on the EPLAN stand, is a powerful 3D/2D software tool for the efficient design and documentation of cable harnesses. It offers easy definition of cable and wiring harness routes with an intuitive ‘point and click’ method within a 3D space. 
Harness proD automates many of the steps involved in the harness design process, including importing 3D models to provide the environment for harness layout, combining the models with wiring lists from the EPLAN platform, and cable routing. The software also handles generation of engineering documentation and 2D nailboard drawings and it incorporates design checks to ensure, for example, that the minimum bending radius is observed for all cables.
Throughout the exhibition, EPLAN experts will be on hand and will be pleased not only to discuss the benefits of the company’s CAE products, but also to provide advice and guidance to exhibition visitors on the best and most economical ways of addressing their own specific engineering design requirements.
