Dassault- OrCAD Connector

OrCAD Connector

Keep your legacy install base with added collaboration by connecting OrCAD to the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform on the Cloud. 

PCB Design with Scalable Collaboration

The 3DEXPERIENCE® Platform on the Cloud is a holistic business experience platform that enables businesses to manage everything from product design and simulation analysis to manufacturing and marketing through a single, browser-based Cloud solution. It brings together 12 software brands under the Dassault Systemes umbrella like ENOVIA, CATIA, SIMULIA and SOLIDWORKS, under one roof in the form of ‘roles’. A role is essentially a bundle of applications required to perform certain tasks on the platform.

With the 2021 release of the OrCAD Connector to the Platform, the enterprise gains access to design data, while designers continue to work within their familiar OrCAD interface. The Connector now enables inter/cross-discipline and cross-Platform collaboration. The OrCAD Connector to the Platform is the tool needed to take PCB design to the next level. On the most basic level, it enhances collaboration on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform by allowing you to share files, compare iterations and assign tasks to your teammates. The Connector also eliminates the step of translating files into different file formats when performing analysis. By facilitating collaboration on projects between different authoring tools and managing all product-related data and information in one location, it provides a single source of truth for the enterprise.


Benefits to the Designer

A streamlined set of data management functions are available to the user from within the OrCAD interface. Whether using native work-in-progress tools or formal PLM, the collaborative environment of the Platform allows you to choose which solution is right for you, offering a more flexible data management solution. Users can simply save their files to their desktop, much like they would in a non-managed environment. Local files are automatically synchronized to a central server to maintain a single source and definition for every managed file. ENOVIA keeps track of which files are changed or out-of-date with the central server. With the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, ENOVIA ensures that the most up-to-date is always accessible.

  • Effortlessly access, manage and share OrCAD data without leaving your preferred environment

  • Utilize enterprise-wide process workflows, engineering and manufacturing data and project information

  • Collaborate with all stakeholders throughout the enterprise directly from the OrCAD interface

  • Cross-discipline, cross-location collaboration: efficiently and effectively

  • Increased collaboration resulting in fewer mistakes and reduced design cycles

  • Create digital twins and simulate to assure first-time-correct

Benefits to the Organization

While exploring the possibility of digital transformation, businesses are generally reluctant to forego their investment in their legacy install bases. Thanks to the OrCAD connector, they can reap the benefits of digital transformation and still retain their investment. The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform allows you to collaborate across every discipline; reducing design cycles, providing better transparency and providing the ability to create more innovative products, faster. From a single Platform, everyone in the organization can share and view not only OrCAD electrical designs but all pertinent manufacturing, mechanical, and simulation data and designs. Internal and external social communities provide connections between functions, teams, and locations to help drive innovation. Out of the box capabilities provide for the creation of personalized dashboards and communities to collect, view and access relevant information such as: today’s tasks, issues, priorities and related CAD data, as well as the ability to create business dashboards to gain greater insight and analysis on industry, company, programs, or projects to make more informed and better decisions.

  • Sharing product data and information in real-time across multiple discplines and domains makes for smarter and faster decisions

  • Social and structured collaboration generates better ideas and drives innovation

  • Implementing enterprise-wide engineering processes improves communication and productivity

  • Connecting once siloed resources and disciplines virtually via the digital twin transformation process can better identify risks and accelerate product development and time-to-market.

“With the OrCAD Connector, designers can focus on innovation, rather than on non-value-added tasks such as providing project updates.”
