3D Design Flow

Once the electrical design schematic is published to Teamcenter, you can place the devices in NX, create the 3D cableway, and convert the cableway to a nodal network to enable cable routing in Capital Cable Router. See the NX documentation on the Support Center to configure the NX cable router with the Capital Cabling Designer applications.

Published design data from Capital Cabling Designer is transferred from Teamcenter to NX to guide the placement of devices and the modeling of the 3D cableways.

Tasks to create the 3D cableway design and nodal network in NX (each is a leaf topic in this chapter, includes a walkthrough video):

1. Placing Devices in Siemens NX from Teamcenter
2. Modeling the 3D Cableway (Preliminary Routing)
3. Modeling the 3D Cableway (Detail Modeling)
4. Preparing the Routing Network and Exporting the Nodal Network
