Model-based and integrated development

As automotive electronics develops towards intelligence, digital networking, bus-based, energy-saving and environmental protection, both chip design and board-level design face new challenges. Compared with traditional automotive electronics, the new generation of products needs to process a large amount of data quickly and timely, and feedback to each control component instantly and accurately; at the same time, the inherent high safety requirements of automotive electronics, good adaptability to reliability in different environments, and zero-defect requirements for parts and components require strict control of the entire design data process.

Zhu Weida, product solution expert at Mentor, a Siemens Business Capital, used in-vehicle network design as an example to illustrate the importance of model-based development. In traditional in-vehicle network design, due to the lack of time analysis, the vehicle weight and cost are increased, and the network scale cannot be adjusted correctly; due to the lack of professional network tools and automated design methods, the development and application efficiency is low; and it relies heavily on physical testing, which increases costs and delays.

Capital's model-based engineering (MBSE) approach can accelerate the vehicle network design process, save time and costs through reasonable design and specifications, and ultimately meet the vehicle system's needs for digital continuity, cross-domain traceability, and security and confidentiality.

Liu Xuefeng, application manager of Mentor, a Siemens Business, focused on introducing Mentor's integrated electronic design system. He said that from system architecture design to specific circuit design, to seamless data transmission, management, and synchronization, it is organically integrated with the vehicle's network design system, cable design, Mechanical design system, and Siemens PLM system, providing the automotive industry with a safe, reliable, and efficient design platform and electronic design data management environment.

Integrated and model-based development will lead a new wave of automotive electronics development. As Ling Lin, General Manager of Mentor, a Siemens Business China, said: "In today's era, electronic design and mechanical design need to be unified to solve the increasingly complex problems encountered in automotive development. Mentor's integrated development tools and methods provide the most powerful help for engineers!"
