Capital offers a powerful graphical harness design environment, enabling automated harness design and validation. Harness design engineers can effectively capture and describe design intent, to rapidly and accurately create fully detailed and validated harness designs (both diagrams and data). Engineers can also define rules and constraints to facilitate comprehensive design automation and ensure consistency.

Capital offers a powerful graphical harness design environment, enabling automated harness design and validation. Harness design engineers can effectively capture and describe design intent, to rapidly and accurately create fully detailed and validated harness designs (both diagrams and data). Engineers can also define rules and constraints to facilitate comprehensive design automation and ensure consistency.
Capture & Automatic Re-application of Changes
The data-centric architecture of Capital provides multiple change management capabilities such as tabular & graphical difference reports, version management and compatibility control, plus the capability to capture, store and selectively re-apply changes. It thereby simplifies change management and eliminates many of the time-consuming and error-prone data-entry tasks required with traditional design tools.
Design Authoring & ECAD/MCAD Integration
‘Right-first-time’ harness designs can be created using rules-based automation and advanced functionality offered by Capital. The powerful data integration interfaces with all major ECAD / MCAD systems enable harness designers to import CAD and related wiring information, supporting error-free and swift data transfer from adjacent solutions.
Rules-based Graphical Diagram Styling
Capital offers a unique capability to render multiple graphical representations from the same design via configurable graphical styling templates. Using this approach, companies can create a design conforming to consistent in-house standards & styles. The design can also be automatically re-rendered into other required styles, for example OEM engineering drawing, internal engineering drawing and formboard drawing.
Standard & Custom Design Rule Checks
A comprehensive set of standard Design-Rule-Checks (DRCs) are provided to validate the final design, to ensure that it meets the customer requirements. Custom DRCs supporting the organization’s IP and documented best-practices can also be easily added.
