Electrical Computer Aided Engineering
As Electrical Computer Aided Engineering (often just ECAE or E-CAE ) is defined as the computer support work processes in electrical engineering . It is a specialization of computer-aided engineering on electrotechnical processes.
Emergence
The ECAE arose from computer-aided design . With its numerous logical links, it goes far beyond the original pure graphic functionality of the first CAD systems. With ECAE software (also known as ECAE tool or tool), the electrotechnical components of machines and systems can be planned, designed, documented and maintained, today in some cases even purely alphanumerically , i.e. completely independent of the graphic representations.
scope
For example, wiring, cable route and circuit diagrams, terminal strips, I / O assignments and suitable control cabinets can be created in the planning or changes can be documented in the course of later system operation. Many work steps of a planning engineer are already automated in the tools.
