Method for generating updated vehicle wiring harness diagrams

摘要

A unique reproducible nomenclature for all components of a wiring harness is provided such that automatic calculation and re-calculation of wiring harness configurations is made possible. Specifically, automated updating of identification tags for harness nodes, bundles, parts from/referring to these topology elements without connectors/connections/cable lugs, as well as accessories referring to connectors, is provided for using a unique reproducible nomenclature and set of predefined rules.

主权项

1. A computer-implement method for generating updated vehicle wiring harness diagrams comprising the acts of:
receiving, by a processor-based computer, a user request to alter vehicle wiring harness data, wherein the vehicle wiring harness data corresponds to a vehicle wiring harness diagram having a plurality of nodes and a corresponding plurality of node identification tags (IDs); reassigning, by the processor-based computer and in accordance with at least one predefined rule, the plurality of node IDs corresponding to at least the plurality of nodes altered in response to the user request; and generating, by the processor-based computer, an updated version of said vehicle wiring harness diagram in accordance with said node ID reassigning.
