CIM-Team and Zuken Launch the 2007 Version of E3.series, Including New Module: E3.formboard

March 27th, 2007 - Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA - CIM-Team and parent company, Zuken, the engineering consulting company; have announced the availability of E3.series 2007. The advancements in the latest version of the Windows-based electrical control design and documentation suite include functionality improvements relating to 3rd party integration and increased ease of use and productivity. Most notably, the new version signals the launch of a new formboard module for manufacturing cable harnesses

Improvements in 3rd Party Compatibility Advancing integration within both the tool flow and 3rd party environments is top of the agenda for CIM-Team and Zuken. The latest version of E3.series includes enhancements to the certified SAP interface, along with support of 3D-MCAD data in STEP AP203/214 Format and MicroStation data. The improved SAP interface allows organizations to quickly and easily modify master records without having to enter the SAP environment. In addition, users can also edit component and classification material master data directly within E3.series using the online synchronization interface.

Having a common data entry area means that component SAP and design data only needs to be entered once, increasing product quality and design efficiency.

The new functionality to output panel data into STEP AP203/214 format enables transferring of design data to create three-dimensional models in 3D-MCAD environments. This allows the user to front load the completion of tasks such as collision checking with mechanical parts, saving valuable time downstream in the design process.

The bi-directional support of DGNdirect data for MicroStation has also been incorporated into the latest version of E3.series. This will allow organizations where MicroStation is dominantly used, to benefit from E3.series' object orientated technology. Companies in the Civil Engineering, Oceanic and Utilities industries are set to benefit the most from this functionality.

Enhanced Workflow with E3.formboard To support the custom wire and cable harness market, E3.formboard is being launched. This additional integrated module of the E3.series has been designed for the creation of nailboard displays required in producing wire and cable harnesses. E3.formboard makes it possible to create connector tables automatically, graphically display manufacturing and displayed lengths, apply automatic stretching and compressing to cables, as well as rotate cable branches. As with all other modules in the E3.series, the displayed view data of an object in a project with E3.formboard is always consistent with the schematic and additional documents .

Ease of Use and Productivity Significant advancements to increased ease of use and productivity, come in the form of the ability to copy, insert and modify structural parts of a project. Using this functionality, entire panels can now be copied repeatedly and adapted to specific requirements. With larger installations, complete machinery and plant structures can be copied.

With "Shared Sheets" in E3.panel, specific regions of different panels can be displayed with individual scaling, making it significantly easier to wire between panels.

The ease of use enhancements detailed in this document cover just a small number of the 50 new functions now available within E3.series 2007.

Shipping of E3.series 2007 began in March '07.

About the E3.series
