EDA Update: Wire Harness Design

Sept. 1, 2003

Wire harness design can become easier by integrating Altair Engineering's HarnessLink design tools and Ansoft's Simplorer simulator. HarnessLink brings to the table sophisticated data management, while Simplorer offers a fast and efficient analysis engine. Together, the tools allow sizing and validation of vehicular electrical systems and identification of design tradeoffs through fast "what-if" iterations.
