designs. Conceived from the ground
up to be highly configurable, Capital
HarnessXC offers harness makers new
options to tailor the tool to meet their
precise needs both in terms of graphical
outputs and the way designs are created
and validated. In addition, rules-based
change management allows change to
be effectively managed, streamlining
tool flows and minimizing human error.

Automated Engineering and

Validation
Capital HarnessXC’s automated
engineering capability calculates:
manufacturing wire lengths, bundle
diameters, optimized splice positions, Capital HarnessXC merges wiring, mechanical configuration and component
data to create a fully detailed harness design.

Design Change Manage-
ment
Capital Harness XC enables design
changes to be integrated into existing
harness designs, preserving details
added at earlier design stages. Users
create multiple “change policies” to
control how Capital HarnessXC should
respond to change. The system auto-
matically assesses the design change
impact and how the changes are ap-
plied to the new harness design.

Option and Variants (OV)

Management
In Capital HarnessXC multiple harness
variants are managed from a single Automated data merging with Collaborative Design Manager
parent design. The tool automatically
identifies which components are as-
signed to which variant and compiles
the manufacturing bills-of-material for
each.

Configurable Graphical
Styling
Capital HarnessXC offers a unique
capability to configure multiple graphi-
cal representations. Using this, multiple
diagram outputs are easily created in
support of customer diagram formats,
or in response to varying internal
needs. Multiple drawing styles and
formats can be generated
