Inventor Professional streamlines cable and harness design
by using wire list information imported from schematic
design packages, including AutoCAD
®
Electrical software.
Cable and Harness Design
Functional Harness Design
Design cable and harness components in 3D to
reduce manufacturing problems, facilitate output
of manufacturing drawings, and avoid late-stage
engineering change orders. In Inventor, wire list
and connector information is used to drive harness
design with built-in cross-checking of electrical and
mechanical data so users can make sure that all
wires and connectors in the wire list are represented
in the 3D cable design.

Wire List Import
Maintain electrical design intent and reduce errors
when importing wire lists into the assembly. Quickly
import large wire lists from AutoCAD Electrical or
third-party schematic design applications with de-
tection and correction of missing connectors, pins,
and wire definitions.

Wire Routing
Quickly route thousands of wires while providing
control over the paths of crucial wires. Manual
routing requires explicit selection of the wire’s
path, interactive routing requires selection of the
start/end points and the algorithm chooses the
shortest path, and in automatic routing the system
find the shortest possible path based on all avail-
able paths.

Harness Path Definition
Optimize the design of cable and harness assem-
blies to help ensure proper spacing for manufac-
turing and reduce errors in manufacturing caused
by incomplete product definition. Define harness
and cable paths using a point-and-click methodol-
ogy that creates 3D virtual conduits (segments) in
the model. Create associative relationships that
help ensure that the harness updates when design
components change. Add points or move existing
points to refine the overall shape of the harness.

Complex electrical
systems are present in
almost every product
or machine, and require
increasingly careful
design of the physical
cables and harnesses.
Incorporating cable and
harness runs—including
ribbon cables—into the
digital prototype saves
users time and money
by calculating accurate
path lengths, avoiding
small radius bends,
and making sure the
electrical components
fit into the mechanical
assembly.
