Zuken and CIM Technologies: Your Partners for Success

Achieve the best quality and functionality in less time and cost - this is the common goal in today's market place. Coping up with the dynamic competition isn't enough, the key is to be always one step ahead.

Cadstar - Your Ally in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design



As the main support for electronic components,  PCB's should be precisely and diligently designed.

With the comprehensive suite of applications of Cadstar, electrical engineers now can think, plan ahead and execute with great accuracy.

Being in the PCD design industry for almost 20 years, Cadstar has already built strong reputation in complying with the requirement for all kinds of design - from sub - miniature , single layer consumer goods through high complexity, multi - layer digital switching products.

It has wide choice of design methodologies that enable you to design at your style and pace, intelligent and connective database that helps you maintain design integrity throughout the workflow, comprehensive tool library and a lot more features that help you design effectively  and finish on - time and on - budget.

Cadstar's  comprehensive set of tools are specifically designed to provide designers an integrated design environment where constraint, entry, verification, analysis and simulation can be performed in the same set-up and offers a flexible and user friendly interface with functions and locations that are easy to navigate.

 

CADSTAR Schematics

Cadstar's ability to create different hierarchical and multi - sheet schematics help organize the most complex designs - from symbol, part, block or sheet level, with the greatest speed and productivity.  It has connective database that maintains the design's net intelligence and determine and prevent constraints all throughout the flow.

CADSTAR Library Editor

Libraries are vital on the over-all design process that's why Cadstar organized broad collection of tool library composed of almost 250, 000 parts that can be stored in any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliant index for effective integration with your engineering and material requirements planning systems.

Dynamic links can be added to supplier's database so engineers are always in synched with the latest library updates.

CADSTAR P.R. Editor

The most important in Cadstar's PCB layout technology is the powerful Place and Route Editor (P.R. Editor). With its grid-free, special data structure and rules driven architecture, designers can deal with routing for the most complex designs at the shortest time possible.

It has high-speed routing tools to accommodate all constraints, yet allow designers to temporarily override design check rules and control display of constraint markers.

Variant Manager

Cadstar's flexibility allows the designer to change any part of the design to match the various product and international requirements, storing all information in one schematic file.  It also creates multiple BOMs (Bills of Materials) for each variant in the early stage of the product design cycle, allowing purchasing departments time to negotiate component costs.

 

 

CADSTAR Design Viewer

CADSTAR design viewer lets the whole design team to share and access design data on any Windows platforms, making collaboration and coordination a lot easier.

 

 

Board Modeler Lite

Zuken's 3D ECAD tool, Board Modeler, provides an optimized environment specifically for concurrent electronics design and mechanical verification of PCB layouts.

It adds comprehensive 3D integration, visualization, collision checking and 3D library managements to bridge the gap between 3D MCAD and ECAD.

E3.Series: Scalable Design Software for Electrical Wiring, Control Systems and Fluid Engineering

 

E3.Series  is a convenient design system for wiring and control systems, hydraulics and pneumatics. It includes E3.Schematic for circuit and fluid diagrams, E3.Cable for advanced electrical and fluid design, E3.Panel for cabinet and panel layout and E.3.Formboard for manufacturing drawings.

It's a collection of complete design engineering solutions from planning to actual production and has automatic wire numbering capability that enables electrical engineers to configure the wire numbers in the project based on circuit  functionality and signal classification.

 

E3.Schematic

As the core of all E3.Series, E3.Schematic provides electrical engineers convenient solutions for designing and documenting electrical control systems including schematic diagrams, terminal plans and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).

Its ECAD engine is built with real time rule checks that prevents errors rather than detecting them upon production,  has device duplication and short circuit prevention tools,  and has broad component driven library that ensures only accurate parts are used.

 

E3.Panel

Effectively working in 2 or 3 dimensions, E.3 Panel allows engineers to design components inside panel enclosures. Its automatic snapping points prevent clashes and allow parts to be placed exact correct location.

 

E.3.Cable

E.3.Cable contains all the functions of E.3.Schematics and is used for designing and documenting cable plans and harness layouts.  It supports the entire process - from definition and design to manufacturing and maintenance.

It has block functionality that helps engineers to quickly represent dynamic equipment such as line replaced units (LRUs) and electronic control units (ECUs), hierarchy functionality that enables top - down or bottom - up approach and multi - view capability that allows alternate documentation of devices such as single-line diagrams, wiring diagram and cable plans.

 

E.3.Fluid

E3.Fluid is the design solution arm of E.3.Series for hydraulics, pneumatics, cooling and lubrication systems. It can be used to design standalone fluid schematics or combined with electrical schematics to provide mixed fluid and electrical design.

E3.Formboard

E3.Formboard provides a complete solution for creating one or more cable harness drawings on any size sheet. It has automatic functionality that decides for the correct placement, arrangement and dimension of the harness and its segments easier.

It gives a view of the cables and harnesses as defined in the schematic diagram.

Aside from the aforementioned design software, there are still lots of product options included in E3.Series that are essential in every part of the design process. There's E3.nterprise for Multi - User Access that enables everyone in the design team to have access on same projects and remain updated on the progress and changes made by each member, E3.Echeck which is ideal for DC control systems designers, that helps them analyze schematic circuits and check designs for fuse and wire sizing errors , E3.Routing Bridge , the link between all E3.Series to MCAD and E3.Functional Design, which supports the creation of first sketches in the early design development phase.
