tools

 

We develop tools to simplify data conversion and project migration, especially for – but not limited to – computer-aided engineering (CAE).

 

The tools we developed for Har-Tech recognize shapes and symbols in order to deduce information like the connectivity of its components from a simple drawing. They are thus able to convert DXF drawings of wiring diagrams to an XML file for import in CAE applications, write wire lists etc.

 

Tools

Here is a simplified illustration of the workflow of these recognition and conversion tools (contact Har-Tech for more information):

Tools

1. Some graphical input is passed to the tool (for example DXF).

 

2. Basic elements are recognized.

 

3. Based on the recognized elements, the remaining graphics and texts are interpreted, names and other attributes get assigned to identified objects.

 

4. The collected information can be exported as structured data like spreadsheets or in a file format for import in CAE tools (for example XML), including graphics.

Currently we focus on tools for importing data in Mentor Graphics‘ products for electrical and wire harness design. We mainly cooperate with Har-Tech in order to provide software or services specifically adjusted to customers‘ needs – and we are always happy to work on exiting new projects for other kinds of data recognition and conversion.
