Electrical System Design and Wire Harness Engineering

Mentor’s electrical distribution system solutions, including Capital, provide the most powerful electrical and wire harness design tools available for the automotive industry. Our powerful design tools can help you design, manage, and implement the most complex electrical distribution systems for the thousands of potential vehicle configurations.

Built on scalable foundations, our solutions may be deployed individually or linked into an unbroken flow. Integration with adjacent domains, such as mechanical CAD, is also supported. Mentor EDS technologies can provide correct-by-construction designs, significant process automation, and precise design data management.

Deployed by car, truck and specialty vehicle OEMs and their wire harness suppliers throughout the world, Mentor’s tools deliver:

  • Shorter and lower cost design cycles
  • Higher quality designs
  • Lower product costs
