NX offers fully integrated 3D electrical wiring and harness design software that enables you to quickly route wires and design cable harnesses in complex assemblies. With the software you can develop accurate wiring, cabling and harnesses in the context of the 3D assembly model, before a physical prototype is built.

Re-Use Logical Design Data

NX wire routing and harness design uses the connection and component information from the logical design schematic. You can quickly import netlists of wire and connection data from ECAD systems, and use a wizard-style interface to create and modify connections.

Rules-Based Wire Routing Finds Optimal Paths

Rules-based routing tools automate the creation of wiring paths and connections from logical designs, helping you optimize routing between components in crowded assemblies. Built-in design rules check and enforce standard practices and ensure connectivity to reduce production costs and assembly defects. To quickly identify and correct violations, you can check rules during design, on-demand, or in batch processes. With parametric wiring models you can more easily manage design changes, analyze clearances and interferences, and accurately calculate wire lengths and bundle diameters.

Output to Manufacturing

To help reduce production time, NX readily creates information for harness manufacturing. You can automatically create a flattened model of the wire harness that includes the electrical intelligence and details such as tie wraps, clips and grommets, and relative positions of connectors. Manufacturers can use the flattened model as reference for 3D jig design, or you can easily create accurate formboard drawings.
