Capital Integrator Electrical Systems Design and Wire Harness Engineering D A T A S H E E T Product Features Generative Design • Automates integration of logical subsystem and physical designs to generate optimized component layout and physical wiring Choice of Products • Capital Integrator: rules-based generative design with extensive choice of powerful add-ons • Capital Integrator Composite: adds facilities that simplify the design of platforms with complex options and variants Generate wiring designs and diagrams automatically from physical layout, system designs, and option content Generative Design: Automated Systems and Physical Integration Capital Integrator is the key application supporting generative design—a breakthrough in automating systems integration. Capital Integrator automatically merges generic sub-system signal connectivity with physical topology to optimize component layout and generate fully-detailed vehicle wiring designs. This removes a huge part of the system integration task, saving time, improving quality, and leaving engineers free to innovate and investigate a wide range of physical architectures to determine the optimum layout. Using a correct-by-construction rules paradigm, Capital Integrator automatically merges signal connectivity (defined within Capital Logic) with configuration logic and physical topology to place devices and synthesize fully composite whole platform wiring designs. User-defined rules control the automated placement of devices, the automated routing of signals/wires, splice locations, and other detailed wiring design decisions. Capital Integrator’s ability to synthesize wiring directly from logical connectivity provides key competitive advantages to its users: generic connectivity can be defined once then used in other platforms, providing better standardization, improved reliability due to consistent application of best-practice designs, and shorter design cycles. www.mentor.com/harness Extensive Add-Ons • Automated generation of wiring diagrams • Deep integration with MCAD and PLM systems • Rules-based ground design • Web-based enterprise-wide design browsing • Service-oriented architecture with powerful customization capability Analysis & Simulation • Easy to use DC simulation facility helps trap problems earlier • Optional add-ons for automated component resizing, transient analysis, FMEA, and sneak analysis Streamlined Processes • Data-centric backbone simplifies project & process management, design change, crossorganization communication, and integration with upstream & downstream processes

Physical Design Capital Integrator provides a choice of approaches when defining physical topology. Designers can create early concept layouts using Capital Integrator’s 2D layout facility and then synchronize with a 3D CAD model as the design matures. Alternatively they can start by working directly from a 3D master definition. A close-coupled interface between Capital Integrator’s 2D layout facility and 3D CAD supports concurrent design activities with 3D CAD at all stages in the design process, from architectural concept through detailed physical design.
