Synchronizing in a Wiring Context

You can synchronize physical data with logical data in wiring harnesses.

The Logical to Physical command can be customized with business rules.

Before you begin:
  • Create an electrical logical system containing equipment, harnesses, single insert connectors, splice and conductors. For more information, see Functional & Logical Design User's Guide: About Electrical Logical Systems.
  • Create the physical structure containing equipment and electrical physical system.
  • Create implement links between the logical and physical components. For more information, see Functional & Logical Design User's Guide: Creating Implement Relations.
  • Create the pathway in the electrical logical system. For more information, see Systems 3D Allocation User's Guide: Pathways.
  • Assign the predefined part number to the connection ports of equipment, single insert connector and splice.
  • Specify the option indicating in which source the content to be placed is searched.

    For more information, see Logical To Physical.

  1. Open the logical and physical data:
    1. From the Search Results panel, right-click the logical or the physical root and select Explore With > Explore with System Finder.

      For more information, see System Finder User's Guide: Exploring RFLP Structures.

      Both logical and physical roots are explored in System Finder.
    2. In the tree, select both roots and select Open in the context menu.
    3. Activate the physical root product in Generative Electrical 3D Design.
  2. From the Generative Electrical 3D Design section of the action bar, click Logical to Physical .
    The Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager dialog box appears.
    Tip: You can create implement links between physical and logical elements without synchronization.
  3. Select the logical or physical elements to be synchronized.
    The selected elements are highlighted. In the Selected Elements list, all the selected elements are displayed with their Type (either Logical or Physical).
    Notes:

    • You can remove the selected element by clicking it once again or right-click the element and select Remove.
    • You can sort the elements by clicking the Selected Elements or Type list.

  4. Click Analyze.
    The selected elements are analyzed. An analysis progress bar helps to view the analyzing status of elements and connections. The Logical to Physical Synchronization Manager dialog box displays the Modification and Status information.

    For more information about Modification and Status list, see Creating Implement Links.

    You can generate an analysis report in the form of an HTML file in the synchronization report repository by clicking Generate Report. For more information, see About the HTML Report.

  5. In the Status list, select Accepted or Rejected to determine either to synchronize the element or reject it.

    If the rejected element has some dependencies, a warning message appears.

  6. Click OK.

    You can select the Automatically update status for Dependencies and Dependents check box to avoid the message.

  7. Click Synchronize to synchronize the selected elements.
    The selected elements are synchronized.

    You can generate synchronization report in the form of an HTML file in the synchronization report repository by clicking Generate Report .

    In the tree, the predefined parts are instantiated from the database. The engineering connections are created between the physical components according to logical connections.



    The components in the rectangular boxes in the above image are instantiated and created during the synchronization process.

  8. Click Update All .
    The physical components and electrical geometry are updated.
  9. From the standard area of the action bar, click Network Assistant to check the connectivity of the electrical geometry.
