Wire Harness Software

in 3D/2D

EPLAN Harness proD is a high-end 3D software for the effi 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.

EPLAN Harness proD simplifi es 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

Clear management of all documents and information

within a wire harness project

Variants and options

Extensive functions for the management of variants and

options

Nailboard

Automatic generation of a 2D nailboard diagram from the

3D/2D wire harness

Bill of materials

User-defined material and parts lists, cable diagrams and

time, cost and weight calculations

Wire harness design in 2D

Individual wire harness design in 2D, even without 3D

data

MCAD integration

Adoption of 3D data, interfaces to standard MCAD

systems and neutral CAD formats

Component data

Individual definition of standard components such as

connectors, cables, splices etc.

Data integration

Open system; seamless integration into the product

development process (PDM)
