Increasingly, engineering organizations are distinguishing between concept design and detailed design activities. By creating a Release-to-CAD milestone before committing to detailed design, engineers are fostering innovation, lowering product development costs, getting to market faster, and creating higher quality products. In this white paper, Chad Jackson, President of Lifecycle Insights investigates Release-to-CAD and the technological and cultural shifts that enable it.

Product engineering organizations face the incredible challenge of ever shrinking market windows for innovation. These opportunities if missed, can lead to huge costs and overwhelming complexity, compromising quality leading to very expensive recalls. This paper examines the challenges associated with connecting models and simulations to the greater development lifecycle and how the solution offered by combining Integrity, a PTC product, with modeling environments and integrating model driven development with engineering processes allows organizations to increase the quality of their products while reducing the amount of time and effort needed to deliver those products.

The capabilities of system integration technologies impact electronics platform complexity, software design methodology, application design, system integration, reuse, upgrades, obsolescence management and certification for time-, mission-, and safety-critical applications. The right system integration infrastructure with deterministic high-bandwidth Ethernet enables design of less complex software-centric systems at lower lifecycle cost. New Quality Of Service (QoS) enhancements and protocol standards such as TTEthernet (SAE AS6802), guarantee strictly deterministic computing and networking performance and satisfy requirements of backplane and backbone applications in aerospace, defense, automotive, energy production and industrial systems.

Controlling CO, HC, PM traditionally required a combination of a DOC and a CDPF, two devices that together yielded sufficient emissions and soot reduction on diesel engines. These systems often require paper filters and expensive controls for the combustion processes utilized for maximizing the emissions reductions. Now, AirFlow Catalyst Systems is reinventing emissions control with technology that eliminates the need for separate systems and delivers a single system to maximize emissions control without paper filters, in less space, and without expensive control equipment. Low temperature efficiency and less maintenenace / downtime are other significant benefits.

Manufacturers of off-highway vehicles are faced with the same challenges as companies in other sectors reducing design and manufacturing costs, reducing lead times, and improving product quality. Today, many of these companies create their electrical and wire harness designs using basic drawing packages. This paper describes how off-highway vehicle manufacturers can gain significant productivity and quality improvements in their electrical design process by using dedicated electrical design software tools.
