Electrical systems topology planning

E3.topology

Linking logical designs to the physical world

E3.topology takes logical designs into the physical world. Topology sheets created at any scale can be added to the overall E3.series project.

Dynamically create installation spaces for dashboards or control panels

Define connection pathways between installation spaces and place components in spaces

Automatic calculation of segment diameter, weight and cost

Automatic routing of signals, wires and cables between installation spaces

Distribute components and generate wiring diagrams

Sheets can represent the chassis of a vehicle or layout of a plant, installation spaces such as the dashboard or control panels are easily added to the sheets. The connections between these installation spaces represent harness routes or cable trays. Alternate views of logical devices held in the same project are simply placed into the relevant installation spaces.

As the detailing process continues, signal logic and wiring information from the schematic is automatically shown in the topology view and the harnesses or cable trays start to be automatically defined. Inline devices are easily added and alternate configurations can be tested quickly. Special reports detail the routes, including cost and weight estimates.
