Routing Cross Branches

You can route branches that physically intersect to connect them electrically.

Before you begin: Create one or more primary branches.
  1. Create a branch with an extremity ending on a branch point positioned on a primary branch:
    1. From the Branch section of the action bar, click Immersive branch Definition , and then select a connection point.
    2. Click a primary branch to create a branch point.

    The branch is created.

  2. Route a new branch from the extremity of the branch you previously created:
    1. Click the yellow bullet representing the branch point and select Creation Mode > Start New Branch .



    2. Click another primary branch to create a branch point.
      A new branch is created.

    3. Repeat steps a. and b. to add a third branch.
      All the branches in your design are physically connected.

    Notes:
    • Start New Branch is only available on branch points created as a branch extremity.
    • Branches routed with Start New Branch are always created in the same electrical branch geometry.

      In our example, the three created branches belong to the same electrical branch geometry.

  3. Activate your electrical geometry in Electrical 3D Design.
  4. From the standard area, click Network Assistant , and then select the electrical geometry node.
    All the branches are also electrically connected.
