CATIA Systems Logical Electricaland Fluidic Design

Today, Systems engineering, Electrical or Fluidic Systems designspecific tools, and 3D product design tools are not integrated together.The inherent lack of continuity in the design process causes variousdifficulties: The use of many different interfaces between tools requirestime and energy consuming manual operations of Data transfers, andthe management of the different IT infrastructures involves costs for

maintenance and administration. At the end, efficient collaboration forthe product global design & review is compromised.

By providing Electrical & Fluidic semantic to CATIA Systems, CATIASystems Logical Electrical & Fluidic Design allows a completeintegrated workflow from Systems Architecture up to 3D Electrical &Fluidic systems design. Systems architects can capture functional &logical architecture and connectivity with discipline specific extensionsof the logical model such as harness, net, wire, connector, pipes,equipment... CATIA Systems Logical Electrical & Fluidic Designcontributes to optimize the electrical & fluidic design through efficientuser interface and automation based on knowledgeware.

Customer benefits

Ready to use directly by

systems architects

Reduce global IT cost with

shared database inside the

V6 platform

Ensures the continuity in

the workflow

RFLP traceability enables

more efficient design

change & validation

processes

RFLP approach offers

efficient collaboration for

the design and review

processes

Enables easy transition ofelectrical systems legacy

data into the V6 electrical

database

Capture company

knowledge to easily

automate the validation

and design activities

Key capabilities

Enable Requirement, Functional,

Logical and Physical design in

CATIA

The unified V6 data model with

Requirement Functional, Logical and

Physical structures (RFLP) allows

applying a Systems Engineering

approach for the complex product

definition. Functional and Logical

architecture allows managing product

complexity and maximizing design

reuse early in the design process.

Design change or validation

processes are facilitated thanks to

traceability between objects in

different structures, for example

check the requirements attached to a

requirement, or identify the function

impacted by a failure in a wire

connection. CATIA Systems Logical

Electrical & Fluidic Design provides

with the Functional Logical Editor all

the features to create: ?Functional &

Logical decomposition ?Define ports

on functional & Logical component

?Connect functional & Logical

component ?2D diagram

representations of design ?Manage

implement links within the RFLP

structure .

Capture electrical and fluidic

systems Architecture &

connectivity

CATIA Systems Logical Electrical &

Fluidic Design brings the electrical

and fluidic semantic to the logical

data model, in order to define

equipment with their electrical and

fluidic interfaces, logical connectivity

and content. Systems architects can

capture logical architecture and

connectivity with discipline specific

extensions of the logical model such

as piping/tubing lines, pipes/tubes,

equipment, connectors, pin, nets,

harnesses, wires and cables? The

logical model enables to perform the

early design of Logical architectures

prior to the physical structure

definition with the flexibility to

investigate easily different solutions.

Route in CATIA Systems Logical

3D architecture

With the product CATIA Systems

Logical 3D architecture, electrical and

fluidic components can be routed inthe 3D pathway network in order to

anticipate the systems integration

issues such as routing length or

systems compatibility rules. The

routing allows checking maximum

routing length for electrical

connection, it is also possible to

define rules in order to avoid routing

together systems that are

incompatible or redundant.
