Written by Tracy Heffner   
Thursday, 11 August 2005
WILSONVILLE, ORMentor Graphics Corp. has released version 2005.1 of the Capital Harness Systems product suite. CHS is a comprehensive end-to-end software toolset for the design, analysis, engineering and production of complicated electrical interconnect systems such as those found on transportation platforms.

The new version is available to new customers, and also as an upgrade for existing customers with a valid support contract. Version 2005.1 contains more than 140 separate enhancements across the various software tools. Some of those enhancements include:


  • Preferred component declaration and selection
  • Configurable release behaviors
  • Extended name composition capabilities
  • Support for connector backshells
  • Configurable cross-referencing 
  • Whole vehicle wiring diagram synthesis 
  • First integration capabilities with UGS TeamCenter Engineering

"Many of the enhancements we've introduced with CHS version 2005.1 have originated from customer requests," says Nick Smith, product-marketing director for Mentor's Integrated Electrical Systems Division. "Because we have worked closely with our customers on this, we are confident this release strongly boosts the value to be gained from CHS, whenever any of the various tools in the toolset are deployed."

New Product
Development Kit Test Drives Innovative Cable Assemblies
3M introduces the Shielded Controlled Impedance (SCI) Cable Assembly Development Kit, 2mm. The development kit enables users to assess, test and design high-performance, 2mm SCI cable-to-board solutions. Engineers can attain multi-gigahertz performance from 2 mm printed circuit board connectors using 2mm shielded controlled impedance cable assemblies.
 
The SCI connectors save board space without affecting performance. Users can verify signal integrity, impedance matching and crosstalk performance for designs requiring up to 1 Gbps single-ended performance per signal line or 5 Gbps differential performance per signal pair.
 
The kit contains everything needed to assess, test and design, including a CD-ROM with application note, test instruction and technical sheets.
