Wire Harness

• Reducing manufacturing cost, weight and time in production
• Improving product quality
• Shortening the design cycle
• Accuracy
• Completeness

Today, wiring harnesses are built for each configuration of the vehicle. Bus systems with backups routed together with power and radio signals. Harnesses are first in the production line and last to get the design information.

All parts of the wire harness have to be carefully developed with no conflicts, no double entries, and the complete harness structure has to be correct the first time. The function of the whole harness design has to be verified. The design work takes place concurrently in the harness design together with a 3D MCAD tool with different engineering domains.

Designing with Saber Harness to solve problems:

• Reduce manufacturing cost, weight and time in production: Table Manager to control and extract design data for Cost and Weight to readable tables under the design process.
  
  Table Manager with extracted design data

• Improve product quality: Analyze your design with Saber Simulator to find Wire DC drops/Heating problems for correct wire selections, EMC and Sneak Paths directly in your Saber Harness design environment. Over-engineering isn’t good enough anymore.

• Shorten design cycle: Interfaces with MCAD tools to share design data to get away from redundancies. Design Rule Check (DRC) to check your design in the design process.
  
  DRC with Design violations

• Correct the first time: Concurrent Engineering & Version Control (CVS): Receive an overview of the complete design, viewing all harness schematics in one design. No double entries in the harness database and no corrupt data. Get a structural overview with the Assembly Tool.
