Analyzing and Editing Torsion

Analyze Torsion lets you visualize, compare, and modify the relative torsion between 3D design harness and a laid out harness.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:

Open the laid out harness.

Analyze the Torsion

You can visualize the relative torsion of the laid out harness.

  1. In the Torsion Analyzer panel, select the torsion statuses to be displayed in the 3D area: Critical, Moderate, and Normal.
  2. Select an electrical physical system, an electrical branch geometry, or a branch to visualize its torsion.
    The Torsion Analysis Report panel appears that displays the torsion report in the form of pie chart. You can click Report to check the torsion values and to export the report.

Edit the Torsion

You can manipulate devices, device junctions, and supports to modify and nullify torsion.

  1. Select the required element in the 3D area and edit the torsion.
    ElementSteps
    Device Select the device and rotate it.
    Device junction Select the branch near the device junction, select the device junction, and then rotate the junction.
    Branch with support Select the segment portion to edit near the support and rotate the support.
  2. Select the ZERO TORSION tag to rotate the selected element and reach a torsion-free segment in one step.
  3. Click in the 3D area to validate the modifications and double-click to exit the command.
