- A solution for the entire product lifecycle from preliminary design through field service
- Used by leading aerospace manufacturers world-wide
Values & Benefits
Aircraft harness design and maintenance is done per electrical system, while allocation of wiring to different harnesses is done based on physical constraints. Therefore, wiring harnesses typically contain wiring from multiple systems. HarnesSYS manages this complexity by automatically capturing the design data from the various system diagrams and storing it in a central database. This data is then used to automatically compose a full set of harness manufacturing documents.
When information is passed manually from one domain to another it is inefficient, and potentially error prone. In a model-based engineering flow, data is created once and is accessed by all engineers and professionals collaborating on the project throughout the different stages of the product lifecycle. Devices and networks can be designed by system engineers within HarnesSYS or imported from other software into the HarnesSYS database.
Designing an aerospace platform’s electrical system requires close collaboration between mechanical engineers designing the platform’s physical routing and electrical engineers designing the actual wiring interconnections. Seamless integration of HarnesSYS within CATIA or NX facilitates data sharing throughout the design process, promoting the efficient design of electrical systems.
Aircraft platforms last for decades, and the electrical installation differs from vehicle to vehicle. HarnesSYS manages the electrical design per system so that it is easily interchangeable, and harnesses are updated automatically.
