Multicore End Identification

Multicore ends are identified using the End A and End B naming convention. Inner wire ends are identified using the End 1 and End 2 naming convention.

The Ends tab on the Edit Multicore Dialog Box displays the objects currently connected to End A and End B of the multicore, as well as a set of attributes you can configure for each end.

The system automatically assigns and updates End A and End B information according to this set of rules.

• Where the system has not yet assigned multicore end information, it uses the following calculation methods to set End A and End B: Wire Weight Method The system automatically assigns End A of the multicore to the end where most wire End 1’s are located.

If there are the same number of wire End 1’s at both ends of the multicore, the system automatically assigns End A of the multicore to the end where End 1 of the first alphanumerically sorted wire is located.

• Where the system has already identified the multicore End A and End B, and is re-assessing the ends, for example due to a change in the design that you have made, it uses the following method to set End A and End B: Preserve Method The system automatically retains the same End A and End B identifications if at least one connected object (connector, splice for example) is still at the same End A or End B location as it was prior to the change.

If there are no connected objects at the same End A or End B locations as was prior to the change, the system uses the Wire Weight method.

The system automatically reassess the End A / End B information using the calculation methods whenever you:

• Create a new multicore in the Edit Multicore dialog box.

• Add or remove wires or multicores from a multicore in the Edit Multicore dialog box.

• Change the wire end connections for a wire that is already part of a multicore in the Edit Wires Dialog Box. For example by swapping the ends of a wire.

• Move connected objects with wires that are part of a multicore.

• Change the routes of wires that are part of a multicore.

• Change the topology of the harness by: Disconnecting bundles that have wires, which are part of a multicore, passing through them.

Connecting bundles, for example, joining them to existing nodes or splitting another bundle, that affects wire paths.
