Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) and Mercedes-Benz
Trucks today announced successful application of the Mentor®
Capital® software suite to the development of Daimler’s flagship
heavy truck, the new Actros. Branded “trucks you can trust”, the
Actros includes innovative electrical/electronic systems that
significantly boost efficiency, safety, and reliability. The
sophisticated nature of these systems drives challenges for the
truck’s electrical design, particularly with respect to systems
integration, design validation and configuration management. To
solve these challenges, the Germany-based company used the Capital
tools, extending Mentor Graphics software deployment to now span
three continents.

“To develop such an advanced truck requires not only powerful
design automation, but also robust design data management,” said
Wolfgang Appel, senior manager, system architecture, Mechatronic
Engineering, Mercedes-Benz Trucks. “Capital was the natural tool
choice because it is so strong in these areas, and is designed to
be used by large, multi-site organizations.” Daimler noted that
Capital’s powerful design lifecycle management,
electrical/mechanical data integration, and standardized
communication with suppliers were all key contributors to
successful development of the Actros’ complex electrical
systems.
The Capital suite spans an extended electrical systems “Define –
Design – Build – Service” flow and is particularly targeted at
transportation applications. Combining powerful design automation
and modern enterprise integration capabilities, the software
creates digital continuity within the electrical domain to compress
development cycle time and deliver significant cost reductions.
“Capital is broadly adopted across Daimler’s several truck
brands. In part this is because Capital supports a number of
different design flows,” said Martin O’Brien, general manager of
the Integrated Electrical Systems Division at Mentor Graphics. “The
toolset is both flexible and future-proof, as well as being highly
productive. This flexibility and power explains why many of the
world’s leading truck manufacturers have adopted Capital, with
deployments in multiple locations in Europe, USA, Asia and
Japan.”
