Description:
This session will present Solid Edge’s 3D Electrical Wiring harness functionality in assembly and new ST5 functionality which allows for documenting the manufacturing process of the harness with nailboards. Key functionality in creating nailboard drawing views along with connector drawing views and tables and conductor tables will be presented. In addition, the ability to edit the 2D flattened representation of the harness so that it will fit on the nailboard will be presented. This session is geared towards users with wiring harnesses in their designs and need an understanding of how to create a wire harness and then document the manufacturing process in Draft.

Assembly 3D Wire Harness

• Harness environment in Assembly used to design a 3d wire harness

• A wire harness consists of conductors:

• Wires

• Cables

• Bundles

• All conductors are driven by 3d Paths

• Cables contain 1 or more wires

• Bundles can contain wires, cables, or “sub-bundles”

Harness Wizard – Step 1

Harness Wizard can be used to import conductors from 3rd party Electronic

software packages

• CIM Team – E3 Series

• ECT – Promise-e

• VeSys Electrical

• Zuken

• Browse for formatted text files

Harness Wizard – Step 2

Connector Component Assigment

• Reads Connector Component information from .cmp file

• UI available to manually assign during this step

Introducing Nailboards for 3D Wire Harnesses

Nailboards documents the manufacturing process of 3D wire

harnesses

Flattens 3D harness onto 2D board

1:1 scale

Sync edits of flattened geometry to fit on the board

Insert Bends, rotate segments while maintaining overall length

Connector Drawing Views

Nailboard Drawing Views

New command to flatten the 3d Harness onto 2D

nailboard

Geometry starts out as linear segments

representing branches of the harness

Line lengths match that of harness

Line colors match that of harness

Line thickness matches outside diameter of harness

Goal is to edit the geometry to fit inside the

nailboard

Rotate segments

Insert Bends

Sync Edits

Nailboards – Insert Bend

New Insert Bend Command

Bends flattened geometry to fit in nailboard view

Maintains overall length of branch

Edits to Radius/Sweep Angle

Option to Flip bend direction
