Ensure effective manufacturing by creating and validating 3D cable harnesses in your mechanical design. Cabling for CoCreate OneSpace Modeling unites electrical and mechanical design, cuts errors, and speeds the design of complex wire harness assemblies.
Product Features
Design and Route Cables
- Design 3D cable harnesses within CoCreate OneSpace Modeling
- Interactively or automatically route cables between pins of physical components
- Easily connect multi-conductor cables
- Define virtual and physical cable channels
- Use extensive features for dynamic ribbon cable routing
Run Reports and Calculations
- Check electrical, physical, and manufacturing information
- Ensure manufacturability with checks for minimal cable bend radii, multiple wires on same pin, open wire ends, etc.
- Define and customize additional design rules
- Calculate cable diameter, maximum bend radii, maximum wire length, and other values
- Generate reports like bill of materials, wire “from-to” lists, and others
- Define company-specific reports
Create Cable Harness Drawings for Manufacturing
- Automatically generate accurate, associative 2D formboard (nail board) drawings for harness manufacturing
- Automatically create required dimensions
- Move, rotate, and scale cable segments or connectors to improve position or annotation
- Add annotations like dimensions, tables, wire run-lists, bill of materials directly on the harness drawing
- Add standard or embedded dimensions of the actual harness length
- Add annotations like pin, wire, and connector properties
Access an Entire Electrical Library
- Choose from wires, cables, fixtures, connectors, and other components in native Modeling format
- View electrical properties, location points, and assembly directions in all library parts
- Snap components in automatically with predefined mating points
- Extended library with your own company-specific components
Verify Designs
- Share electrical and mechanical data and accurate 3D prototypes for design reviews
Import and Export
- Import wire lists from any ECAD system
- Automatically create all required wires based on the imported wire list
- See missing components, not placed components, connection differences, etc. when importing with intelligent update checks
- Automatically create connections with cable air nets
- Auto-route air nets via pre-defined channels and virtual paths for optimized harness results
- Export cable information back into ECAD systems
