Can SOLIDWORKS Electrical do wire harnessing?
What is SOLIDWORKS Electrical harnessing?
SOLIDWORKS Electrical harnessing is the process of defining wires, cables, and components in a harness on a schematic so the SOLIDWORKS 3D add-in can route those harnesses within a mechanical assembly and produce a to-scale flattened harness route for manufacturing.
How does the SOLIDWORKS Electrical harnessing workflow work?
The harnessing workflow in SOLIDWORKS Electrical follows three main steps:
- Define the harness on the schematic — specify which wires, cables, and components belong to each harness.
- Route in 3D — use the SOLIDWORKS 3D add-in to route the harnesses in context with the overall SOLIDWORKS Mechanical assembly.
- Flatten the harness route — generate a to-scale flattened harness route to aid in manufacturing.
