SaberES Designer
Overview
Vehicle electrical systems distribute power and data amongst electrical subsystems and components enabling safe, efficient, and cost-effective vehicle operation. With its myriad of complexities and interdependencies on all connected sub-systems, the electrical system design process poses significant technical and logistical challenges to make it function reliably.
Integrated Electrical System Design
SaberES Designer™ enables design teams to address these challenges by providing an integrated process for electrical system design from concept to manufacturing. SaberES Designer minimizes data entry, manages complex, system-wide design variants, enables concurrent engineering, maintains data integrity, and allows efficient exchange with 3D CAD systems.
Top-down "connected" design flow
Completely Unified Tool for Electric System Design & Verification
- Intuitive tool for developing functional and physical electrical system designs
- Sub-system design; reusable schematics with logical connections that represent a function (External lights, Braking, Engine control etc.)
- System design; a vehicle project generated from the sub-system designs. Signal and component consistency is automatically merged verified across all subsystem designs in the project
- Wiring design; generated from system design and evolved by engineers assigning physical objects from corporate database including: wires, shells, inline connectors, splices, etc. Design wide Connector Manager to partition design in harnesses and quickly ensure correct inline cavity occupation
- Bundle design; generated production harness drawings re-using wiring design, option/variant configuration, and 3D MCad routing
- Integrated data flow for electrical system design from concept to manufacturing
- Interface with the leading 3D MCAD engineering tools
- Single database ensures correct by construction and eliminates data translation errors
- Consistency is automatically maintained throughout the complete design process with support to configure options and variants to support all buildable vehicles, independent if they are composite or modular/customer specific harnesses
- Robust sheet check-in/check-out for efficient concurrent engineering
- Global design teams work in same project with configurable user roles enable working on different levels and security in the process
- Built-in and extensible design verification
Verification of Electrical Systems
- Voltage Drop and Over-current
- Implement reusable verification simulations using SaberES Designer Experiment Analyzer
- Built-in DC simulation capabilities to verify voltage drop and overcurrent to determine fuse sizes, cross-sectional areas of all wires and existence of sneak paths
- Back-annotate simulation data and probe critical nodes to quickly identify problem areas
- Advanced Transient and Robust Design
- Optional Saber Simulator for transient verification of high-speed systems including vehicle networks.
- Optional Saber InSpecs to optimize the design for component variations and shifts in operating conditions
- Functional Safety for Verification of Electrical Systems
- Quickly select and configure hardware faults directly from the SaberES Designer wiring design
- Export functional safety simulation results from SaberES Designer Experiment Analyzer to document fault coverage and support functional safety flows
