Splice Repositioning Constraints for Optimization

The following default constraints can be accessed from the Capital Harness > Splice Repositioning folder.

See Rules and Constraints to create constraints.

Bundle

Exclusion

You can use this constraint to prevent splices being placed on bundles that match a query. Use this constraint when either optimizing or repositioning splices.

Constraint construction:

Copy

Don't place splice on bundle matching <any> when either optimizing or moving Splices

Distance

from Object

Use this constraint to specify a minimum distance that a splice can be placed from a choice of the following objects:

• Connector

• Splice

• Junction

• Clip

• Grommet

• Other Component (relates to any objects placed by using the “Add Other Component” function, it does not relate to components defined in Capital Component Manager of group “Other”)

Use this constraint when either optimizing or repositioning splices.

Constraint construction:

Copy

Maintain minimum distance of num from object matching <any> when either optimizing or moving splices

Include Wire CSA in Splice Optimization

This constraint is used when you need the conductor weight of the wires in the splice to be taken into consideration when finding the optimal position. Only use this constraint when optimizing splice positions.

Constraint construction:

Copy

Do Include Wire CSA in Splice Optimization

Optimize the position of splices

Use this constraint to change the position of splices that match the expression, such that the position minimizes the use of material and conforms to any splice optimization constraints that have been set.

Only use this constraint when optimizing splice positions.

Constraint construction:

Copy

Optimize the position of splices matching <any>
