A new report highlights the growing crossover between the electronic and mechanical arenas, and the value of AutoVue in meeting the needs of this rapidly evolving hybrid EDA/MCAD marketplace.

Recognised 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 recognises 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 visualisation 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 visualisation and collaboration functionality by including virtual prototyping and design validation tools in one all-inclusive solution.

"Cimmetry's AutoVue visualisation 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 Versprille.

"Cimmetry's digital mockup has taken an industry-leading position in bridging the gap between intelligent EDA and MCAD for product visualisation 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 Versprille.

"CPDA recommends all product developers investigate Cimmetry Systems' AutoVue as their visualisation and collaboration product of choice".

The position paper is available for download from Cimmetry's website, as is a fully functional evaluation copy of AutoVue.
