TE Connectivity unveils new harness design website

TE Connectivity, a Harrisburg, Pa., designer and manufacturer of products that connect and protect the flow of power and data, has launched a “customer-focused,” interactive website, www.HarnWare.com, which offers details on the latest harness design software that can be licensed from TE. The new version, HarnWare V6, has been re-engineered using the latest programming tools to offer improvements in performance and enhance the user interface. On the new website, harness designers will find details on the HarnVis V2 3D harness design visualization system that generates to-scale 3D models.

The latest HarnWare V6 software is a computer-aided design package that enables users to produce high-quality wiring harness assembly drawings, parts lists/bill of materials, labor estimates, RoHS compliance codes for each component, cable cross-section designs, connector platform drawings, wiring schematics and schedules. Data can also be exported in a variety of formats to allow transfer of information into other computers systems. Users can supplement the databases of preferred parts by adding other component data to the HarnWare User Parts Library.

The software also gives engineers access to a more detailed and accurate design, as well as provides the design and quotation up to 20 times faster. The HarnVis V2 3D harness design visualization system within the software offers automatic generation of t0-scale 3D models of wiring harnesses and components. These 3D models provide “virtual prototypes” of harnesses, allowing the user to see the harness with lengths, diameters, and parts shown t0-scale. By clicking on a part, the user can access such data as part numbers, materials, finishes, and adhesives.
