Abstract
Design of electronic-mechanical assemblies involves many disciplines, tasks, and a disparate set of CAD/CAE tools. The problem is to facilitate collaboration between them by increasing the interoperability between these tasks and their respective tools while maintaining the integrity of the designs, including constraint management. This paper will present the requirements envisioned for a ME-EE co-design environment called CrossTalk. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from this bottom approach will be used to design a framework for commercial ECAD-MCAD-CAE collaboration and communication that is specific to this cross-domain design but independent of proprietary file formats and software.
