Creating Harness Links

Create Link Between Harness and Connector

You can create links between a harness and connectors to manipulate the harness composition.

In the tree, select Logical Harness 1, SIC1, and Splice1.

In the tree,Logical Harness 1 contains SIC1, Splice1, and the two wires. An electrical link is created between the harness, the harness connector and the splice. An implicit link exists between the Logical Harness 1 and the wires as the wires' ends are connected to the pins under this harness.

The new definition of the harness content facilitates the manipulation of the harness composition. Both version and definition are supported.

Important:

You cannot add a connector or connector port, a wire or a cable to a harness content if it is already in the content of another harness. The link must be removed first.
If the cable is under the harness, all its wires and cables are also under the harness. To add a wire or a cable (grouped under a cable) to a harness, you can select one of the wires or cables.
For connectors, you cannot add a disconnect or connector shell to a harness content.

Deactivate Harness/Content Links.

Create Link Between Harness and Connector Port

You can create links between a harness and connector ports.

In the tree or in the diagram view, select the harness to be linked (Logical Harness 1).
In the tree or in the diagram view, select the disconnect.
- In the tree, click the connector port.
- In the diagram view, click the disconnect representation and select the connector port in the Port Link Selection dialog box.
In the Port Link Selection dialog box, select a port in the list.
An electrical link is created between the harness and C1. Moreover, an implicit link is created between the harness and the wires W3 and W4.
