Capital Logic
Powerful graphical wiring design authoring and editing
Capital Logic is a powerful graphical and design-management environment for authoring both logical connectivity designs (signals), and physical wiring designs (wires, splices, multicores, etc).
Capital Logic may be used to design both sub-systems and to accomplish interactive system integration, i.e. the merging of multiple sub-systems into the physical structure.
Capital Logic is more than a schematic design tool, it provides a foundation for a complete CHS electrical design flow: from logical concept design through to harness design (using Capital HarnessXC).
Standard capabilities include an easy to use DC simulation facility, a powerful parts library, a symbol authoring facility with pre-defined standard symbols, and extensive project and data management tools that automate many of the time-consuming & error-prone tasks that are usually performed manually, by a designer.
Features and Benefits
- Rapid circuit design with intuitive user interface
- Improves electrical wiring design quality through drafting standards control and consistency
- Accelerates the design process through automated capabilities such as object name composition and automatic cross-reference generation
- Embedded electrical simulation helps engineers test and validate their designs
- Leverages data reuse through tight integration into the data-centric CHS environment, including a common parts library and MCAD/PDM bridges
Highlights
Data-Centric Architecture
Capital Logic is built on a data-centric backbone that integrates each and every part of the design process, streamlining the flow of information as the design matures, and eliminating the requirement to manipulate files. Capital Logic’s data-centric backbone simplifies the data management task and eliminates many of the time-consuming and error-prone data-entry tasks required with traditional design tools. Project management, design management, change management and transparent integration with other enterprise applications are key capabilities of the system.
Design change management
The data-centric architecture of CHS is designed to facilitate change processes. Multiple change management capabilities are provided such as tabular & graphical difference reports; version management; compatibility control (“build lists”); and aerospace-effectivity tracking.
Project and process management
Project norms such as naming conventions, design rule checks, customer options & variants, and diagram style-templates can be defined and automatically applied. Process constraints such as release management sequence, design locking, user permissions and component naming can be mandated.
