Cutting edge electromechanical integration

From an application-oriented vision to electromechanical integration.

CATELECTRE integrates ELECTRE and CATIA’s 3D electrical solutions in a single digital mock-up that combines the electrical and mechanical models. This comprehensive, two-way integration makes it possible to synchronize electrical schematics with the 3D mechanical environment supporting them and to update harness data using information from the 3D models. It also enriches the CATIA representation with functional information from ELECTRE, such as electrical engineering routing constraints (segregation, etc.).

In this cutting-edge seamless environment, CATELECTRE provides unique features for the design and interactive engineering of electrical harnesses in the CATIA V5 3D electromechanical environment.

CATELECTRE, the intelligent integration gateway between an electrical vision (ELECTRE) and a mechanical vision (CATIA), is the ideal tool for building a complete electromechanical model combining the 2D functional model (pilot) with the 3D mechanical environment (constraints). CATELECTRE’s design methodology follows and naturally enriches a company’s processes for designing harnesses and integrating them in their mechanical environment.

From electrical engineering to PLM integration

ELECTRE is the core of the electrical engineering system. It can be used on a stand-alone basis or together with CATIA, through the powerful two-way integrated platform CATELECTRE. In this cutting-edge seamless environment, CATELECTRE provides unique features for the design and interactive engineering of electrical harnesses in the CATIA V5 3D electromechanical environment.

Combined with the CATIA V5 electrical engineering modules, CATELECTRE handles the collaborative work between electrical and mechanical engineers and provides a productive, fully controlled response to the requirements of onboard electrical systems (automotive, aeronautics, etc.) and other systems (machines, equipment, etc).

CATELECTRE also combines with Elsys’s multi PDM platforms to provide a coherent collaborative environment in which to manage electrical data, models and documents.

This innovative approach to electrical engineering enables companies to achieve major productivity gains, to dramatically increase the quality of the design process and to take full control of their manufacturing processes.
