3D Design Flow

Once the electrical design schematic is published to Teamcenter, you can place the devices in NX, create the 3D cableway, and then covert 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.

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

This video demonstrates the following tasks to create the 3D cableway design and nodal network in NX:

• Placing electrical devices

• Modeling the 3D cableway

• Preparing the nodal network

• Exporting the 3D design data (nodal network) to Capital Cable Router

• Placing Devices in Siemens NX from Teamcenter

• Modeling the 3D Cableway (Preliminary Routing)

• Modeling the 3D Cableway (Detail Modeling)

• Preparing the Routing Network and Exporting the Nodal Network
