Korea Aerospace Industries Cuts Electrical Design Time Using Mentor Graphics CHS Tools

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) announced today that
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), a manufacturer of fixed and
rotary wing aircraft, has been able to reduce significantly the
time needed to design the electrical wiring system of its newest
platform. The Korean Helicopter program is scheduled to first fly
early in 2010. For this project, KAI decided to use tools within
Mentor’s CHS™ product family, with the objective of improving
process efficiency for this complex task.
The development of this helicopter has reached an important
milestone with the release of a complete set of electrical wiring
designs, so valid comparisons can be made with previous
methodologies. Specifically, KAI has achieved a 20% reduction in
wiring system design time compared with their previous norms. KAI
said, “CHS gives us a substantial productivity boost. Not only are
the tools easy to use, they also provide superior automation and
ensure a high level of data correctness, thus cutting the time
needed to develop the very complicated interconnect wiring found on
a modern helicopter. And we can extend our use of the tools to
achieve yet more efficiency improvements, for example by exploiting
CHS’s web-based data reporting capability.”
KAI used Mentor’s CHS Capital® Logic software, supplemented by
CHS electrical simulation and 3D MCAD integration applications, to
create several hundred detailed wiring schematics representing the
new helicopter’s electrical system. Because the CHS product employs
a highly data-centric paradigm, many design tasks — such as the
management of objects shared across multiple schematics — can be
significantly automated, reducing both design and validation time.
Martin O’Brien, general manager of Mentor’s Integrated Electrical
Systems Division, said, “KAI is a textbook example of an
organization leveraging CHS’s technical power to achieve real
business benefits. Wiring design often occurs late in a platform’s
development cycle, so time savings have a genuine impact. As
regulatory requirements relating to aerospace wiring become
increasingly onerous, we expect more and more attention to be paid
to this area.”
