3D Harness Bridge

The 3D Harness Bridge is designed for tranferring data between E³.cable designs and 3D Harness Design Systems

Electrical data from E³.cable• connectors / devices• pins• connectivity• attributes of wires and cables

Data from the 3D Systems• length information

Supported Systems

EMbassy

Pro/ECabling Design

V4V5

Routing

Harness Design

Functionality in the 3D-System

The functionality depends on the 3D System used

Normally supported functions are

• Calculation of wire length• Control of bend radius information• Collision control• Placement of Fixings

Supported E³.series ProEngineer versions

The following versions of E³.series and Pro/E are supported for the interface

• Pro/E 2001 build 2004290• Pro/E Wildfire 1.0 build M240 or later• Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 build M100 or later• E³.series 2004 build 330 or later
