In the new SmartConnect schematic tool:

  • Choose the Sun cartridges you need and drag-and-drop them into the schematic
  • Add any needed Sun and other industry-common empty cavities
  • Drop in your ports and interface patterns
  • Draw the connections

Once your schematic is complete, in QuickDesign:

  • Set your manifold face preferences for components and features
  • Add any required extra clearances

Manifold Face Preferences


Next, submit your project to QuickDesign. The software automatically packages up all the data required to generate your 3-axis manifold design solution and sends it to the QuickDesign automated design engine. Now go get a cup of coffee.

It’s all hands-off during the manifold creation process. All the design intelligence to create an efficient, effective manifold design is in the program, giving you all the tools you need to turn your ideas into solutions. You’re in control.

What do you get?
