![]() ![]() The increased use of mechanical models - along with an increase in connectivity, thanks to cloud-enabled workflow - has led to an expectation of model-based design (MBD). Product design is moving from documentation to modeling. Today, there is growing expectation for simultaneous collaboration. Unfortunately, false starts, change orders, and unexpected incompatibilities were common. It’s not an efficient workflow, but it was the best way given the software tools available. If the geometry changes and the gray box is moved or resized, or if the specific connectors change, you tell the other team. In document-based engineering, collaboration is a sequential act. ![]() When it was common for design disciplines to work separately, the gray box was business as usual - it was document-based engineering at its finest. The box is where the electronics go, created by other engineers using other software. Uniting Mechanical and Electronic Engineering in Product Development 13 Oct, 2022 By: Cadalyst Staff MCAD Solutions: Simultaneous collaboration brings model-based design to life by allowing mechanical and electrical engineers to design together.įor as long as designers have worked on mechanical products containing electronics, the CAD model or drawing contained a gray box. ![]()
