Wire Length Calculation
Automatically calculate highly accurate wire
lengths that update as the design changes.
Length compensation factors enable fine control
over wire and cable lengths, reducing scrap and
manufacturing delays caused by wires that are too
short or too long. What’s more, the Embedded
Length feature provides the ability to account for
the amount of wire that is used beyond the point
where the wire enters a connector or splice. Global
Slack adds extra length to all wires and cables based
on a percentage of their length. And the Round Up
feature produces practical, manufacturable wire
lengths by rounding the wire and cable length up to
the nearest specified unit.
Bend Radius Checking
Improve cable quality and manufacturability, and
prevent costly recalls by adhering to minimum bend
radii. Identify points of failure due to tight turns and
test manufacturability of bends along large bundles.
Nailboard Diagrams
Minimize drawing iterations by quickly creating
accurate D harness documentation and ribbon
cable documentation that automatically update as
the D design changes—reducing errors caused by
manual drawing methods. Place connector images
in a single step using predefined orientation, scale,
and oset settings. Manipulate and annotate for
manufacturing, adding pin, wire, and connector
properties; location of fold lines for ribbon cables;
and other data needed to build the harness or cable.
Assembly Documentation
Quickly and easily create manufacturing
documentation before building the first article.
Since cable and harness geometry is native to
Inventor, users can create assembly documentation
showing accurate details of cable and harness
placement.
