For many years, computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided engineering (CAE) systems have been around to help improve the productivity of engineers. Advances in CAE systems are now rendering these legacy tools obsolete, says Ian Pope, UK technical manager for EPLAN.

Advanced systems like EPLAN are the catalyst for change in how engineering workflows are structured and how engineers share data in realtime with other departments.

How can the process times be reduced in the entire product engineering process in order to reduce costs? This is a question that is often asked in enclosure manufacturing, with the answer lying in the cross-discipline meshing of engineering, manufacturing and commissioning. 

TemCurve6 is Terasaki's FREE circuit breakers selection software. It includes numerous NEW and IMPROVED features not available in earlier versions. 

TemCurve 6 software dramatically simplifies and streamlines the production of accurate selectivity and fault-level studies. This powerful new design-tool provides designers with the widest range of power system selectivity analysis and reports.

Power Engineering v4.1, is Rittal’s new version of planning and configuration software for type-tested low-voltage switchgear of their Ri4Power systems, Form 1, Form 2-4 and Ri4Power Form 1 ISV. The software offers quick and easy generation of quotations and bill of materials with better assembly information and the capability to view the side of the assembly, where part numbers and their location within the system are indicated.

Specialist fire rescue and emergency vehicle manufacturer Emergency One UK Ltd has selected Zuken’s E³.series software for its electrical harness design. This will enable the company to produce wire harnesses to standardize and reap the cost and reliability benefits, while also delivering flexibility through modular based customization to aid the manufacturing process and enable straightforward retrofit options.

NICEIC Certification Software will enable you to complete electrical certificates on your computer rather than by hand. NICEIC Certification Software allows you to print NICEIC certificates directly onto plain paper.

NICEIC Certification Software makes the process of completing certificates quicker, simpler and more efficient. It will modernise the long-standing method of the certificates being hand-written.

The dates and locations for Zuken’s 2010 annual conferences, Z-DAC Americas and the Zuken Engineering Days (ZED) in Europe, are now set for October and November. These events draw customers and prospects from around the globe to take part in an event that address common electrical and electronics product design and development challenges. Working together with partners, industry bodies and customers, Zuken will deliver information to help attendees drive out excess cost in the design process and continue to push the boundaries of innovation.

The service is based on BS 7671:2008 [Requirements for electrical installations. IEE Wiring Regulations. Seventeenth edition], which has been described by the Institute of Engineering & Technology as “a set of golden rules for electrical installation work and encourages best practice amongst the profession”.

The IGE+XAO Group announces new advanced functionalities for its Electrical V5R1, the Intuitive and Versatile CAD Software for all Electrical Design needs. SEE Electrical is the Group's package dedicated to the medium to low range of Electrical CAD software applications. It has become very popular worldwide, due to its three levels (Basic, Standard and Advanced) and its upgradeability which allows the software to evolve in line with customers requirements.
