Wire & Cable Harness Design with Zuken E3

Cable harnesses are a challenge in the world of product design, as they require both mechanical and electrical information, yet the creation of a harness design has generally been relegated to whatever drawing tool was available within the design team. In many cases, either mechanical CAD or schematic capture tools (which were developed for the creation of PCBs) have been used to create harness and cable designs. As a result, these drawings are typically "dumb" drawings, without intelligent data nor are they easily manipulated to accommodate changes.

What if you are designing machinery in which there are literally dozens of cables? In addition, what if the physical layout of those cables must be understood in order for the mechanical and electrical teams to constrain their designs? To add to this complexity, consider that there could be numerous subsystems that need to be interconnected. The E3.series solution by Zuken was developed to handle these large cable harness design efforts. Mil/Aero, automotive, robotics, and heavy machinery companies have turned to E3.series in an effort to take cabling and system engineering design beyond static drawings. To add to this, E3.series can also effectively handle design of hydraulic and pneumatic systems along with electrical, so that an entire system design can be achieved in one design environment.
