Defining an Electrical Harness

You can extend an existing logical reference into an electrical harness, in order to define a wire or cable harness.

Before you begin:
  • Create a logical reference (Harness Network).
  • Create a logical component (Audio Harness).

  1. Select Electrical Harness Extension from the Electrical toolbar.

    Tip: This command is also available from the menu bar, via Insert > Extensions... > Electrical Harness Extension.

  2. From the RFLP structure tree or from the 2D representation, select the logical component to be extended (Audio Harness).

    Tip: You can select a logical component before or after selecting the command.

    The Electrical Extension dialog box appears.

  3. If need be, enter a description in the Subtype field.

  4. Click OK to close the dialog box and add an electrical harness extension to Harness.

    From the RFLP structure tree, note that:

    • an Electrical node is created under the selected component (H1 (Audio Harness 1.1)) to indicate the electrical extension.
    • an Electrical node is created under the logical reference (Logical Harnesses Network). This node will store all electrical objects you will create further. In our example, it aggregates a Harnesses node containing the extended electrical Harness (H1 (Audio Harness 1.1)).


  5. Right-click the electrical component, then select Properties from the contextual menu.

    The Properties dialog box appears.

    An Electrical tab has been created to display the electrical properties.
