The component wires required between each connector or splice are specified via HarnWare
and stored in a wire list. The wire most suited to the particular environment and service conditions is selected using design rules
encoded in the HarnWare software and database. If the wire selected is a non-preferred option, alternative types and colours can be
identified which may be available on shorter delivery times. Guidance is also available for choosing the wire gauge most suited to
given current loading, ambient temperature, length, number of conductors, etc. For each available wire size HarnWare estimates
temperature rises, operating temperatures and voltage drops. HarnWare then calculates the lengths for each component
wire and uses the selected wire diameters to calculate cable bundle diameters for each harness leg in the design.
