Major Product Features
Capital ModularXC—Harness engineering with automated module breakdown.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Capital®
Mentor Graphics
ModularXC enables harness engineers
to create fully detailed, validated,
and manufacturing-ready harness
designs from 150% harness designs. Buildable harness variants
(including diagrams and BOMs) are
automatically generated, based on
user-defined choices for decomposition—Composite-Derivative or
Modular decomposition. Modular
decomposition offers both functional module decomposition, for example “tail lamps,” and production
module decomposition, for example
“ECU connector sub-assembly.”

MODULAR DESIGN
AUTOMATION
AUTOMATED ENGINEERING
AND VALIDATION
Functional assignation algorithms
identify modules based on codes
assigned to the wires, then automatically identify and configure all
related components—connectors,
protections, clips, etc.—to complete the definition of each module.
Production assignation algorithms
identify and configure the optimum
set of manufacturing subassembly
modules, based on user-defined
best-practice rules and constraints
to increase manufacturing efficiencies and reduce costs.
The Capital ModularXC selection
routines automatically select terminals, seals, cavity plugs, tapes,
tubes, heat-shrink sleeves, and all
other harness components to create a full manufacturing BOM.
Automated engineering functions calculate: manufacturing
wire lengths, bundle diameters,
optimized splice positions, taping
quantities, harness weight, and
other quantities that describe the
finished design.
