SaberES Designer

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.

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
