Design covers more disciplines with
fewer clicks

Zuken pulled out all the stops to improve the quality of cabling design and manufacturing, while also integrating other modules like fluid design into the heart of the product development process.

This year's E3.series from Zuken is all about letting the users lead the way in determining software feature enhancements In addition to specific technology advancements for the modules within E3.series, tasks that previously required multiple clicks and commands, are now done with the press of a single button - or even automatically

In addition to enhancing the usability of the core architecture and base module, Zuken pulled out all the stops to improve the quality of cabling design and manufacturing, while also integrating other modules like fluid design into the heart of the product development process.

Zuken advanced the multi-user capabilities by introducing hierarchical and restricted design control for efficiency required to meet the challenges of large scale design operations for highly complex products.

Improvements to the core module, E3.schematic, focus on making the design processes smoother and eliminating tedious design tasks like switching between forced and normal wiring for a connection, which would normally take between 30 and 60 seconds per pin connect.

For a design with over 1000 connections, completing this job automatically results in a massive time savings.

With the latest version it is now possible to embed any file as an external document within the E3.series design, delivering significant savings in project management.

For companies with wide product ranges, managing design options gets easier; changing from one option to another previously required about 25 mouse clicks - now it's down to just three.

The module for designing cabinets and other panel structures, E3.panel, gains improved design flexibility and fully exploits the object-oriented structure of E3.series.

When space, scale and product variation and options are an issue, users can apply different mounting positions for different variations or options of a product.

Catering specifically to the automotive, aerospace and military cable and wire harness producers, E3.cable guarantees higher reliability early within the design cycle, supports industry design and legislative requirements, and overcomes specific product requirements, for example; easy placement of inliners in automotive connections.

Moving away from the traditional electrical focus of E3.series, hydraulics designers can also benefit from advancements in the hydraulics and pneumatics module, E3.fluid. Request a free brochure from Zuken ...
