Generative Design:
Automated Systems and Physical Integration
Capital Integrator is the key application supporting generative design—a breakthrough in automating systems integration. Capital Integrator automatically
merges generic sub-system signal connectivity with physical topology to optimize component layout and generate fully-detailed vehicle wiring designs. This
removes a huge part of the system integration task, saving time, improving quality,
and leaving engineers free to innovate and investigate a wide range of physical
architectures to determine the optimum layout.
Using a correct-by-construction rules paradigm, Capital Integrator automatically
merges signal connectivity (defined within Capital Logic) with configuration
logic and physical topology to place devices and synthesize fully composite whole
platform wiring designs. User-defined rules control the automated placement of
devices, the automated routing of signals/wires, splice locations, and other detailed
wiring design decisions.
Capital Integrator’s ability to synthesize wiring directly from logical connectivity provides key competitive advantages to its users: generic connectivity can
be defined once then used in other platforms, providing better standardization,
improved reliability due to consistent application of best-practice designs, and
shorter design cycles.
