Description
You can now use the new Cabling Tree to manage cabling data in the model. This tree is specific to the Cabling application.
The Cabling Tree has the following three views: Cable View, Bundle View, and Connectivity View. These views allow you to see the harness structure in different ways. Each view is independent of each other and has dedicated filters and columns.
Cable View | Bundle View | Connectivity View |
The Cable View displays all the cables, wires, overbraids, networks, and bundles in the active harness. You can expand the cables, wires, networks, or bundle nodes to get to the additional information, such as spools, segments, and location points for each segment.
The Cable View helps you immediately see all routed cables in the active harness. It enables an easy investigation and modification of routed cables.
The Bundle View displays bundles and their contents in the active harness. Bundle contents can consist of additional bundles, cables, wires, and spools. This view also displays the cables that are partially routed through a bundle.
The Bundle View helps you easily find all the bundles and their content and properties in the active harness. It enables easy investigation and modification of bundles and their contents.
The Connectivity View displays all the designated connectors and the routing between them in the active harness. You can expand routed wires to display their ports on both ends. This view displays logical wires that are not yet routed as logical items. It also shows terminators and reference designation labels.
The Connectivity View helps you to easily see the connectivity structure of the active harness. It enables easier investigation and validation of the harness design.
Benefits
The Cabling Tree improves data management in cabling.
Previously, it was difficult to understand the harness structure because all elements were listed in the Model Tree as a flat list based on the regeneration order instead of a logical structure.
The Cabling Tree provides a better visibility into the harness structure with its independent views. Now, it is easier to locate harness elements for making modifications or creating new routes. This enhancement enables an easier creation, investigation, and validation of the harness design.
