Digital design of automotive wire-harness

In allusion to the current existing problems of automotive wire-harness design, which are no interaction between 2D design and 3D design, and disconnect between design level and simulation level, the advanced design methods are needed. In this paper, it puts forward a kind of automotive wire-harness design method based on CHS and PRO/E software. Then it details its design steps including schematic / layout / harness design, 3D interaction, data management, etc. Finally, it summarizes the advantages of this advanced design method.
