Harness

mhribbon-harness

The Harness section contains tools used to define the cabling within the MHARNESS model. The configuration of the harness parameters can be adjusted prior to runtime, as discussed on the Configuration page.

The Harness section has the following tools:

  1. Harness Image 16   Cabling

  2. Custom Junction Image 16 alt   Junction

  3. Pigtail Image 16   Pigtail

  4. SPort Image 16   Port

  5. Circuit Termination Image 16   Circuit Termination

  6. Copy Cross Section Image 16   Copy Cross Section

  7. Inspect Cross Section Image 16   Inspect Cross Section

  8. Inspect Line Image 16   Visualize

  9. Bulk Assign Terms 16   Bulk Assign Terminations

  10. Bulk Delete Terms 16   Bulk Delete Terminations

Harness also has several tools (described in the table below) that can be accessed by right clicking Route Image 16 Harness in the Simulation Tree.

Harness Tools

Tool 

Function

Delete Image 16   Delete

Deletes the entire harness

Rename Image 16   Rename

Renames the harness

Mesh

Mesh all lines in the harness

Add

Add cabling to the harness

Pack Circle Image 16   Pack

Packs (i.e., arranges the cables in the harness such that there are no overlaps) all cables in harness but retains all user-defined cross sections

Pack Circle Image 16   Reset Packing

Clears the user-defined cross sections and repacks cables using the default packing algorithm

Visualize

Visualize the harness as 3D tubes to more accurately represent the true size of cables

Edit Image 16   Configure Harness

Open the menu to configure harness properties

Select Routing

Highlight and activate the line(s) in the model geometry that comprise the harness

Show Routing

Hide all geometry except for the line(s) in the model geometry that comprise the harness

In addition to the above tools, there are a few quality of life harness tools users can access.

  1. Hide Junction and Segment names by unchecking the box next to the Route Image 16 Harness node in the Simulation Tree.

    checkbox 1

  2. Rename segments by right clicking the line segment in the model window and selecting Rename Image 16 Rename Segment from the pop-up menu.

    rename 1

  3. Rename junctions / terminations by right clicking the junction point in the model window and selecting Rename Image 16 Rename Junction from the pop-up menu.

    rename 2
