DS' CAA V5 partners contribute significantly to the electronics and high-tech consumer goods industries.
Companies in these markets need to integrate electrical design data, such as wiring diagrams and schematics information into their design processes.
ECAD Integration Suite from Productivity Engineering (PE), enables companies to optimise the printed circuit board development process and facilitates collaboration across the supply chain.
Companies producing electronic devices also need to predict cooling airflow distribution and temperature levels which are critical for product reliability.
Working hand-in-hand with DS, Fluent provides a solution to model heating and cooling patterns, allowing companies to optimise design for electronic products where overheating can create serious consumer issues.
The result is one of the largest and most vibrant PLM development communities.
A total of over 150 partners have joined the program with some 5,000 developers working on the CAA V5 open software platform, and bringing to market more than 400 innovative products.
This network of partnerships has transformed into a dynamic, open system, fostering a constant flow of ideas, applications, Industry Solutions and best practices among its members.
