Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for creating a computerized visualization of a wiring topology is described that includes combining three-dimensional wire harness data with logical wire content using a process executed on a computer processing device, and displaying a graphical wire topology, output from the process, within a three dimensional model of the platform within which the wiring topology is contained.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for creating a computerized visualization of a wiring topology, said method comprising: combining, using a process executed on a computer processing device, three-dimensional wire harness data, which includes wire harness assembly (WHA) models and wire harness installation (WHI) models with logical wire content for a harness end item (HEI), which includes schematics, to generate a graphical wire topology, wherein combining the three-dimensional wire…
