INTRODUCTION
Electrical Harness Design
Defining an electrical harness requires two steps. You must first define the required
connectors and connection points. Once you have these connections, you are ready to begin
defining the geometric bundle that links the various connection points. These geometric
bundles will behave as a space reservation for the wiring they will contain. In this section
of the course, you will not be defining the actual wires within the geometric bundle, but
rather just the overall size and shape of the geometric bundle that will contain the wiring.
There are two workbenches involved in electrical harness design. They are the Electrical
Harness Assembly and the Electrical Harness Installation workbenches. The Electrical
Harness Assembly workbench will allow you to work with the geometric bundle as a whole.
The Electrical Harness Installation workbench will allow you to define the specific bundle
segment and route the bundle. The two workbenches are used simultaneously to define the
geometric bundle. Although the Electrical Harness Installation workbench is a separate
workbench, it is generally only accessed through the Electrical Harness Assembly
workbench when defining a specific bundle segment. This is a similar behavior to the
Sketcher and Part Design workbenches. You generally do not access the sketcher
workbench directly, but instead you access sketcher through the Part Design workbench. In
our case, the Electrical Harness Assembly workbench works in the product environment,
whereas the Electrical Harness Installation workbench works with a specific branchable
part in the product.
