About the Compatibility Table

The compatibility table lets you apply separation conditions when routing to, for example, ensure separation between redundant system circuits. You can, in this way, create your own compatibility table and have in-house separation conditions applied during conductor routing and route simulation. This page provides information about the compatibility table.

The Separation code compatibility can be determined on a conductor-to-conductor or on a conductor-to-segment basis. Once built, the compatibility table is taken into account via Me > Preferences > App Preferences > 3D Modeling > Electrical and Electronic Systems > Electrical 3D Design > Conductor. By default, the compatibility table is not taken into account.

The compatibility table is a text file that describes the separation conditions in the form of a list of compatible separation codes. Each line corresponds to the separation code of one or more conductors:

  • In conductor-segment mode:

    [Wire separation code] : [Compatible segment separation code]; [Compatible segment separation code]; [etc.];

  • In conductor-conductor mode:

    [Wire separation code] : [Compatible wire separation code]; [Compatible wire separation code]; [etc.];

Separation codes can be assigned to conductors, conductor groups and segments. This is done via the Properties context menu, in the Electrical tab.

Here is an example of Compatibility Table (for conductor-segment mode):

Wire_Sepcode1 : segment_yellow;segment_brown;segment_violet.
wire_Sepcode2 : segment_grey;segment_brown.

If you route a conductor with this separation code wire_Sepcode1, the segment with the segment_yellow separation code can be added to the conductor's routing, but the segment with the segment_grey separation code cannot.

Notes:
  • A conductor or conductor group to which no separation code has been assigned can be routed through all harness segments.
  • Segments to which no separation code has been assigned accept all conductors or conductor groups.
