There are numerous challenges faced by harness design and manufacturing teams across all industries. In some, weight is the biggest challenge and in others, signal reliability is paramount. The discussion today is less about using a harness and more about essential information to ensure your design and manufacturing processes work efficiently. Best practices that help significantly reduce the cost and time associated with harness fabrication are applicable from the earliest design stages and continue to be profitable throughout the process.

Creating symbols in E3.series is fast and intuitive. The symbol is graphically created in a project and exported as DXF/DWG for import into the database editor. Pins are added and device designation and master reference texts can be added.

2D or 3D panel design does not need complex MCAD software to be done.

From schematic and panel integration, design rules checks to the automatic interconnection of panel components, an E-CAE tool like E3.panel provides numerous advantages over classic CAD solutions.

With E3.panel and E3.panel Plus, the creation of panels and switchgear becomes smart, fast and easy.

As a way of thanking the 15,000 students on our courses at Udemy. Cim-Team organizes the E3.fundamentals course. See all the details in this article:

In this article we show how the insertion of wires inside E3.series is smart and complete. Thus, your projects are documented in detail so that your process becomes optimized and efficient.

In this article, we show how the beginning of creating a panel can be simple and fast inside E3.series.

E3.schematic is considered the base module of the E3.series electrical engineering software. It provides an easy-to-use solution for creating and documenting electrical control systems, including schematics, terminal strips and PLCs. Its object-oriented architecture ensures an integrated and consistent design approach, helping to eliminate errors, improve quality and reduce design time. It is, without a doubt, the most used and disseminated tool among the most diverse operations of electrical engineering and automation projects in the world, serving as an initial step towards more complex solutions and additions to industrial processes.

Among its key features is real-time design rule checking (DRCs) used to identify and prevent errors during the design phase of the project. In addition, it has a comprehensive library of components from suppliers such as ABB, Siemens, Schneider and Bosch which assists in the realization of projects with an automatic selection of components. See these and other main features of E3.schematic below.

The product creation process requires design, engineering and manufacturing steps. With this, different tools and solutions are created to specifically meet each demand. So, in this article you can learn a little better about the differences between CAD and CAE tools. See below:

In this video, we show how the creation and editing of cables can be easy and intuitive inside E3.series. Cables are created as components of the database editor to later be added to your project sheet. Options such as shielding and twisted pair can be added and are graphically represented. Also, new components can be edited from existing ones and inherit the specifications and characteristics to facilitate and streamline your process.

In this article we show how to create a terminal strip within E3.series. Read the full article.
