Highlights
Intuitive
Full electrical design authoring is made easy via an intuitive user interface and electrically intelligent symbols. Built-in electrical intelligence automates many design tasks. For example, splices are automatically created when wires are joined and cross-references are automatically created when wires cross between sheets.
Furthermore, all entities have context sensitive menus giving the user the modification options appropriate for each different type of component. These and many other facilities make circuit editing a quick and simple.
Productive
VeSys automatically generates reports for wires, connectors and devices used in the design. Diagram index-tables, device and wire index-tables with full sheet and zone referencing can be added to the drawings and these are updated automatically as changes are made.
VeSys interfaces with most major MCAD systems allowing accurate wire length information to be defined by the MCAD system.
VeSys is simple to use, ships with a detailed video tutorial and requires minimal training allowing companies to become productive quickly. Experienced support staff and an active user community forum provide immediate support and answers to new and experienced users alike.
Powerful
Built-in simulation helps designers to check and validate the design, as it is created, helping to find errors fast and early in the design phase. Simulation shows voltages and currents, highlighting problem areas such as short circuits and validating wire and fuse sizing.
Designs can be split into multiple sheets with automated cross-referencing and hyperlinks, helping users navigate the design. Diagram appearance – line weights, fonts, colors, symbols, borders, etc is fully customizable.
Libraries are provided for components, symbols and analysis models and these can be shared and exchanged with other companies.
Scalable
VeSys shares a common software architecture with the CHS electrical and wire harness design suite. While VeSys is optimized for rapid deployment and a small IT footprint, CHS is designed for larger enterprises.
A VeSys installation upgrades readily to CHS with riskfree native data migration. CHS encompasses solutions for physical architecture optimization, systems design, systems integration and wiring design, electrical simulation and analysis, harness engineering, harness costing and documentation generation. Moreover, VeSys and CHS are able to share common component, symbol and simulation model libraries.
