EPLAN Harness proD

Wire Harness Software in 3D/2D

EPLAN Harness proD is a high-end 3D software for the efďŹ cient design of wire harnesses and the production of nailboards.

Wire harness fitting from the beginning Until now, using a CAD system to design wire harnesses and wires was no easy task. Calculating wire lengths, working out bundle diameters and, most importantly, producing commercial and production documentation is time and labour intensive. Highly qualified wire harness designers have been using the same manual methods for some time. Result: the wire harness prototype often does not fit perfectly, which means adjustments need to be made before it is ready for production.

EPLAN Harness proD is revolutionising wire harness and nailboard design EPLAN Harness proD is a professional 3D tool connecting the data from mechanical and electrical construction systems within a single system to allow the efficient development of a wire harness in 3D. EPLAN Harness proD fits in perfectly with existing working processes. The system‘s strengths lie in the automation of the steps involved, from importing wiring lists from EPLAN Platform to routing cables and generating documentation and 2D nailboard drawings. The ability to collate mechanically relevant information from various MCAD systems and the ECAD connection information means that EPLAN Harness proD has the potential to be seamlessly integrated into PDM environments. If no mechanical environment model is available as the basis for 3D wire harness designing, the wire harness can optionally also be designed in 2D. In brief: development times are reduced, productivity increases and project quality is improved on a continued basis.

Highlights of Wire Harness Software

EPLAN Harness proD simplifies the most important stages of the design process: Intuitive definition of cable and wire harness routes with an easy „point and click“ method within the 3-dimensional space  Simple adoption of wiring lists and connection information from EPLAN  Fully automated routing of wires and cables on previously defined paths  Values for bundle diameters and wire lengths are always up to date  Tracking of all wire harness elements which belong together, such as wires, cable shoes, connectors etc.  Automatic placement of buffers, stoppers etc.  Test functions: checks on minimum bending radii, cross sections and wire harness collisions and checks on bundle  diameters and length restrictions 2D production drawings – from 1:1 nailboard to handy service documents in the scale required  Automatic generation of delivery date and material calculations, weight calculations and wiring and parts lists  Generating of control files for wiring and cable assembly machines for optimum production integration  Project management
