CPDA Recommends Electronics, Mechanical Design and Manufacturing
Enterprises Investigate Cimmetry's AutoVue
A new position paper praises AutoVue's ability to bridge
the gap between EDA and MCAD
Aug

Recognized technology
industry research firm Collaborative Product Development
Associates (CPDA) recently released a new position paper
entitled, “Bridging the Gap between EDA and MCAD”.
Authored by CPDA PLM Research Director, Ken Versprille,
this report recognizes the growing crossover between the
electronic and mechanical arenas, the challenge for all
industry verticals to integrate these diverse design elements
accurately and efficiently and Cimmetry's insight in developing
a visualization and collaboration tool to meet the needs
of this rapidly evolving hybrid EDA/MCAD marketplace. Cimmetry's
AutoVue addresses these needs by delivering the unique ability
to combine native EDA and MCAD parts, components and assemblies
in a Digital Mockup without losing any of the intelligence
and attribute data of the original files. AutoVue stands
out from the crowd, going beyond conventional visualization
and collaboration functionality by including virtual prototyping
and design validation tools in one all-inclusive solution.
“Cimmetry's AutoVue visualization and collaboration environment
facilitates product design review and validation, product
manufacturing, and all supply chain activities with support
for the integration of disparate CAD databases into a final
digital product assembly.” said Ken Versprille. “Cimmetry's
digital mockup has taken an industry-leading position in
bridging the gap between intelligent EDA and MCAD for product
visualization and validation tools.
“The scope of AutoVue's Digital Mockup (DMU) and design
validation is limitless, said Pam Petropoulos, Marketing
Manager at Cimmetry Systems. “All users within an enterprise
(design, engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, marketing,
executive offices) or externally (business partners, suppliers,
customers and regulatory bodies) can participate at each
stage of product development to simulate models and assemblies
on-the-fly and project real-world manufacturability without
the expense and time associated with conventional physical
prototypes”.
“Strong capabilities in interference checking, design validation,
manufacturability testing, and innovative cross-probe functionality
make AutoVue a leading solution for enterprises along all
supply chain activities,” said Ken Versprille. “CPDA recommends
all product developers investigate Cimmetry Systems' AutoVue
as their visualization and collaboration product of choice”.
