Improves collaboration between electrical and mechanical designers

ELMA (Electrical Logical Mechanical Application) is the industry’s leading standalone lightweight visualization tool for 3D CAD, Schematic and PCB layout with full mark-up and cross-probing. It enables engineering teams to look at MCAD and ECAD data simultaneously, allowing hassle-free review and sharing of design information.

ELMA is ideal for team members who aren’t familiar with NX and ECAD authoring tools, and its easy-to-use interface ensures the active participation of all stakeholders in the design process. With full support for bi-directional cross-selection, mechanical engineers can use ELMA alongside NX to perform more detailed reviews for procedures such as assembly clearance analysis. ELMA also links to NX for full MCAD analysis.

Tools of the trade

Links 3D models with their electrical schematics, enabling close synchronization and effective collaboration between mechanical and electrical designers, which saves time and helps prevent costly and time-consuming rework due to electro-mechanical issues.

It provides a complete picture of the system in production, empowering engineering teams to find the best design possibility, rather than using the first feasible design that comes to mind.
