Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that
it has completed deployment of its Capital® product suite at
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., the world’s leading manufacturer of
single-engine turboprop aircraft. The Capital product suite is a
powerful electrical system and wire harness design flow for the
automotive, aerospace and defense industries.
A key part of the solution, and an important driver behind
Pilatus’ selection of the Capital solution, is technology that
allows enterprise-wide data integration between the Capital
software and the Teamcenter® system from Siemens PLM. Design data
integrity is of critical importance in the aerospace industry, so
close linkage between data created by the Capital tool in the
electrical computer aided design (ECAD) domain with other domains
not only delivers improved design efficiency and cost saving
operational automation, but is central to Pilatus’ engineering
process flow.
The deployment was delivered by the Mentor® consulting staff
working alongside Pilatus and Siemens PLM personnel. It involved
maintaining Pilatus engineering productivity while replacing
existing ECAD workflows, functionally integrating the Capital
software to the current Siemens Teamcenter environment, and
optimizing working processes between them to automate previously
manual operational sequences and introduce new capabilities.
Existing Pilatus ECAD designs were also migrated into the Capital
software’s data-centric format. This allows existing design work to
be re-used in new aircraft programs, and to leverage the new IT
environment for documentation and maintenance of existing
aircraft.
“Keeping our products ahead of the market requires the creation
of intimate connections between avionics and other aspects of the
aircraft, such as mechanical systems and airframe, both physically
and in the way they are designed,” said Bruno Cervia, vice
president, Research & Development, Pilatus. “The Capital
solution defined by Mentor consultants will allow our design teams
in Stans to explore and advance our products via integrated
electrical systems architectures. This will bring clear benefits to
those who buy and service our products, such as weight and life
cycle cost savings.”
“The Pilatus deployment of the Capital product suite is a
perfect example of how the full resources of Mentor are applied in
the service of the customer,” said Paul Hofstadler, vice president
of Mentor’s Consulting Division. “Mentor’s goal is to enable
customers to seamlessly adopt our leading-edge technology, with
minimal disruption to workflow productivity. The end result here
has been successful deployment of an advanced system that is both
technically optimized and integrated into the enterprise data flow,
enabling Pilatus engineers to quickly solve sophisticated technical
problems while enabling advanced business processes.”
