Customer Success engineers works closely with component manufacturers and CELUS platform users to ensure high data quality and technical accuracy. Creation takes place in an AI-enabled Library envi...
Using the CELUS Design Platform
Why couldn’t I find the solution I was looking for?
A functional block can resolve without a matching CUBO when no validated CUBO covers that function and specification yet, or the project settings narrow the search too far.
A redesigned design canvas with a floating toolbar, searchable exported PDFs, and faster library performance alongside improved KiCad import and export.
Redesigned Bill of Materials. The BOM is planned to move to a new view built for faster component review.
Interface suggestions are now ranked by AI match strength, the canvas exports as a full-resolution SVG, and CAD import and export cover more cases.
AI Credits arrive in Design Studio, giving clearer usage tracking for the platform's AI features.
OrCAD X schematics can now be exported from the platform in XML format, available in Beta.
The new Design Canvas is now out of Beta and fully live.
We added several new Features to the New Design Canvas Beta:
Blocks on the New Design Canvas (Beta) are now more responsive and avoid collisions.
Introducing Refined Search to help engineers find the right solution faster and more easily.
Reference Projects allow you to easily get started with project creation. When you copy or apply a reference project, all selected solutions - including system architecture, CUBOs and alternatives ...
Minor text revision to clarify that the lead times in the BOM title represent the maximum expected lead times.
Create multiple Design Assistant conversation threads within a single project and switch between them at any time. Helps you keep the different conversations around your project focused.
When a locked CUBO or an incompatible link blocks a resolution, Design Studio now provides clearer, more actionable error messages to help you continue working and resolve issues successfully.
When a locked CUBO or an incompatible link blocks a resolution, Design Studio now provides clearer, more actionable error messages to help you continue working and resolve issues successfully.
