What is electromechanical design?
Electromechanical design is the collaborative development of electrical and mechanical components and their intended interactions during product development. Designing complex electromechanical systems requires a toolset that allows for a combined and simultaneous design process.
How Autodesk’s collection connects multiple stages of the electromechanical design process?
With Autodesk’s Inventor and AutoCAD Electrical toolset, you can easily connect your mechanical and electrical engineering teams’ workflows. See how the software in the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection allows designers to simultaneously move products forward while maintaining connections and enhancing collaboration.
Electromechancial engineering design workflows
Get insights into an efficient electromechanical workflow within AutoCAD Electrical toolset and Inventor. Learn about the electromechanical link (EMX) file—a bridge between two products accessible by both electrical and mechanical teams and designed for information exchange—as well as timesaving EMX workflow tips.
