Mentor announces next-generation VeSys

WILSONVILLE, USA: Mentor Graphics Corp. has announced availability of its next-generation VeSys electrical/wire harness design products serving harness makers and off-road and specialty vehicle manufacturers. The VeSys 2.0 application suite goes beyond merely enhancing the previous offering; it has been completely re-architected.

Now based on a data-centric paradigm, where all information is stored within an integrated database rather than individual files, the VeSys 2.0 suite delivers superior design data management, user permissions management, and access to InfoHub, Mentor’s powerful user documentation system. These capabilities allow the VeSys 2.0 suite to be more readily adapted to different organizational and IT requirements, simplifying its deployment and broadening the scope of potential applications.

In addition, the VeSys 2.0 suite incorporates over 50 functional enhancements suggested by existing VeSys customers. Examples include flexible simulation model creation, a completely new user environment, and greatly-enhanced drafting capabilities. User productivity is substantially boosted, reducing design costs and time to market.

VeSys products have historically targeted off-road and specialty vehicles, including the design of fire trucks, construction and agricultural vehicles, as well as other industrial equipment with significant electrical/wiring content. Thanks to its new architecture, the VeSys 2.0 suite now also provides such organizations with a native data upgrade path to Mentor’s powerful CHS electrical systems design suite, should this be required by increasing design complexity. The VeSys 2.0 suite users can also share component libraries and simulation models with corporate sister divisions who are using CHS electrical systems.
