Capital Ground Design

Assists in the Design of Ground Wire Routing

Capital Ground Design is an add-on module for Capital Integrator that assists in the design of ground wire routing. It automatically determines the optimal ground point for each device based on user-configurable constraints and minimization of wiring length.

The user configurable refinement rules define, at both the electrical and physical levels, which ground signals to merge, isolate (such as clean reference grounds), and multi-terminate.

Benefits and Features

  • Significantly reduces the time required to design full vehicle grounding
  • Provides ability to specify legislative, safety-critical, EMI, and other types of grounding rules
  • Captures corporate expertise and know-how in a re-usable set of best-practice ground-design rules that can be repeatedly and consistently applied to all future platform designs
