HarnWare is the Tyco Electronics computer aided electrical wiring harness design software. Developed for the harness designer who knows exactly what he wants from his harness but needs a tool to help him design it quickly and easily.Today, users are gaining many benefits including:
- More detailed and accurate design
- Designs and quotations produced up to 20 times faster
- Promotes the use of prefered parts, helping ensure best delivery and price
- Consistent high quality output
- Promotes a systems approach for choosing components, materials, adhesives, etc to help ensure parts are compatible
with the intended service conditions and with mating parts
- More cost effective designs
- Minimised transcription errors
- Helps ensure a more disciplined approach to harness design
Tyco Electronics recognised that designing wiring harness assemblies with
their use of many standard parts and proven design rules, as an ideal application
for Computer Aided Design. The company invested in a major
software development effort to produce a harness design system. The result is
HarnWare which is quick and easy to use and which is capable of generating fully
detailed drawing packs with minimal effort.
Tyco Electronics' extensive product ranges and systems approach to harness
design enable the company to provide complete harness solutions to meet the
requirements of all markets, especially demanding applications in the defence, rail,
aerospace, naval and motor sport industries. HarnWare utilises a drag and drop drawing
interface that enables the designer to rapidly draw and designate the overall parameters
of his harness. Once complete, the drawing combines with HarnWare to guide the designer
through series of design operations that enable the harness system to be specified and
a range of fully compatible components to be selected.
The finished drawing package contains a general
assembly drawing, a wire list, a fully itemised bill of materials, a wiring schematic,
a wiring schedule, a labour estimate, a harness weight estimate, a marker page, a 3D
model, a lay-up board and much, much more.
