Error GUI
Error reporting and handling have been improved in HMX V50. You can use HMX Debug Panel to identify and resolve issues with harnesses and assemblies.
Errors
For HMX V50, the following error types are displayed in the HMX Debug Panel, when encountered during the HMX processing of a harness:
• Topology cannot be resolved in the following scenarios:
◦ Unsupported Axial Topology: Unsupported Loop – The number of segments starting at one end of an axial topology section of the harness does not match the number of segments ending at the other end of the section.
◦ Unsupported Axial Topology: Too long – The axial topology path for a component contains extra segments, which may have been created by cable cosmetics or branches.
◦ Unsupported Axial: Too many splices – The axial topology contains more than one axial component linked in series without a separating cable junction.
◦ Unsupported Axial: Non-axial – The axial topology section contains segments that do not have axial components on them but have other cable cosmetics or branches.
◦ Unsupported Axial: Too complex – Closed loops have been detected within the axial topology section.
• Multiple topographies detected – The harness currently being processed has segment paths that are not attached to each other.
• Closed Loop – Closed loops with more than 3 sides have been detected. These closed loops must be simplified because HMX cannot process them.
• Unterminated wire ends detected – Wires or cables that are not terminated on a connector end have been identified.
• Bulging Closed Loop – Closed loops with one segment larger than the sum of the other two have been detected. These closed loops must be simplified, as HMX cannot process them.
• Unsupported Segment – The routing of the highlighted segment cannot be processed by HMX and must be simplified.
Warnings
The following warnings are also output to the HMX Debug Panel, when encountered during the HMX processing of a harness:
• Incomplete Cables – Incomplete cables have been detected in the harness being processed.
• Mixed Spool Units – The spools in the current assembly have both inch and millimeter units.
• Physical and Logical Mismatch– The physical and logical routings of the displayed cables are different. HMX defaults to using the logical information.
• Embedded Components– HMX does not support embedded components. Embedded components will not be present in the drawing.
