Mentor Graphics provides the most comprehensive set of electrical and electronic design automation solutions for the automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway industries around the world, including OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

Bring automotive design complexity
under control

System design tools from Mentor Graphics help you control the increasing complexity of designing and manufacturing today’s vehicles. Be it a sports car or a long-haul truck, each new model, feature, option, and variant multiplies the number of components and configurations that must be designed, integrated, produced, and managed.

Using proven electronic design automation (EDA) methods of modeling, simulation, and analysis, Mentor Graphics solutions help you speed the design and implementation of vehicle systems including:

  • in-vehicle multiplex networks
  • electrical distribution systems
  • wiring harnesses
  • embedded subsystems (and code)
  • sensors and actuators, and more.

The Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) will deliver more than 40 information-packed sessions addressing design challenges and solutions in the automotive, truck, off-highway and military vehicle industries. IESF Detroit 2012

Technologies for Your Design Focus

Systems modeling technology from Mentor Graphics enables engineers to capture requirements and simulate the behavior and interactions of proposed systems and components in the context of the vehicle’s electronic and physical environments. These correct-by-construction techniques allow problems to be discovered early and subsystems to integrate and work together.

Mentor’s PCB design tools and fluid flow analysis applications, among others, are used by automotive engineers to deliver clean, correctly-designed subsystems. Plus, all of our solutions are supported by a worldwide team of experts in electrical and electronic design and design methodologies.
