End

Configure this constraint to automatically create components at ends of Wires.

Usage

Copy

Create component with part number Part Number and quantity = 1.0 at wire end matching <any> of single Wire terminating at Connector

Arguments

Click the colored arguments to configure the constraint. Red hyperlink arguments are mandatory, and green arguments are optional.

See “Auto Create Component Constraints Overview” for argument configuration information common to all Auto Create Constraints.

Argument	Description
CopyPart Number	Use to configure various ways to specify the part number for the component you want to auto create. Click the argument to display a popup menu: Edit or New — Opens the Text Expression Dialog Box, to create or edit a query expression to drive the selection of the part number. In the Text Expression dialog box, click the Advanced Editor button (), to open the Edit Query Expressions Dialog Box and create or edit advanced queries. Queries are scoped to Wire End. Part Selection — Opens the Part Selection Dialog Box, to set a specific part number to use. A predefined query from the list. See “Query Expression Context” to filter items in the list.
Copy1.0	Specify the quantity of component you want to auto create. Default value is 1.0.
Copy<any>	Use to specify a query expression condition to drive the selection of the associated matching object. Click the text to open a popup menu: Edit or New — Opens the Condition Dialog Box, to create or edit a query expression. In the Condition dialog box, click the Advanced Editor button (), to open the Edit Query Expressions dialog box and create or edit advanced queries. See also “Query Expressions”. {any} — Click to apply to all matching objects. Select a predefined query from the list. See “Query Expression Context” to filter items in the list.
Copysingle Wire	Use to define the type of wire you want the auto create process to consider: any Wire: all matching wires (single and multicore wires). Multicore wire: all inner wire in multicores. Single wire: all matching single wires (exclude multicore wires).
Copyat Connector	Select to specify the type of end where the multicore finishes to place the component: anywhere at Backshell at Connector at Device at Ring Terminal at Splice

Examples

Example

1

The auto created components display as follows:

• Additional Parts on the Edit Wires dialog box as in Figure 44. Figure 44: Edit Wires Dialog Box

• In the Harness Design browser as in Figure 45. Figure 45: Harness Design Browser

Example

2

This constraint example places a component with part number HS-6 at the end of all single wires (not in a multicore) terminating at a connector
