ECAD and MCAD: Which to use and how to use them together When it comes to wire harness design, there are two primary types of software: Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) and Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (MCAD). These are essentially two different approaches to designing wire harnesses. ECAD software concentrates on designing the electrical components of a […]

Customer: Fellten Industry: EV modification Project: Streamline all wire-harness design processes going forward Solution: Arcadia Design Suite Consistency in design and production With a presence across three continents, Fellten designs, engineers and manufactures bolt-in systems to convert classic cars into electric vehicles (EVs). Their electric systems deliver original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) levels of performance and reliability to […]
If you can optimize the design process for your wire harness, you’ll gain significant cost reductions across the board, including testing and validation and your harness manufacturing. Simply put, optimizing at the design phase has a knock-on effect, speeding up the harness design cycle and improving your formboard while reducing design errors and quote-to-production cycle […]
It never hurts to remind yourself of the basics when it comes to designing your cable harness. For your application to function as intended, every component and cable assembly must be carefully considered. This goes for your wire harness. The use of all wire harness types can improve the efficiency, reliability, and safety of a […]
It’s clear from the frequent headlines that competing billionaires perceive space as the ultimate flex of their wealth and power. Although it’s cool to be a little churlish about these displays, there is no doubt that technologies and innovations will trickle down and drive demand for production. A large part of space and satellite systems […]
Funding your very own suborbital space flight in a custom-made spacecraft has become the ‘it’ thing for billionaires to do in recent times, with Elon Musk paving the way for private space investment two decades ago and tens of others following suit. Both Richard Brandson (with Virgin Galactic), and Jeff Bezos (with Blue Origin), have […]
Car ownership has already passed its peak, and in the year 2030, just nine years from now, around 10% of us may have given up our cars altogether… So it’s not the future of flying cars we’d all hoped for yet, but it’s certainly a more sustainable one. It will be the world’s largest cities […]
To many people from the outside, electrical harness and wiring systems in vehicles, appliances and industrial equipment all look the same – wires, connectors and various fixtures bolted to each other. Those in the industry know better. It is a complicated set of rules and design patterns that have been developed over several decades and […]
You can find a publication called “Electric Vehicles” by Charles W Marshall on the internet if you do a search. It describes electric vehicle technologies such as e-motors, drive trains, and batteries. Almost everything you need to know about the operation and production of such vehicles. The year of publication may come as a surprise […]
