Creating a Multicore

The Multicores dialog box enables you to create multicores manually in a Capital Systems Integrator design and to edit these multicores. The multicores can contain only wires and multicores from a single harness.

Note

Before you can create multicores, you must have synthesized wiring. See Synthesizing Wiring.

Procedure

1. Select the harness (in which you want to create a multicore) in the Design Browser (Design tab), press Space Bar and enter Multicores. Alternatively, right-click on the harness and choose Multicores.

2. In the Multicores dialog box, click the New button on the right part of the dialog box.

3. In the Edit Multicore dialog box, name the new multicore and click the indicator types that apply to the multicore. Coax and oval multicores are shielded. Twist-commercial, twist-military and twist-z are not shielded. If you do not want to use the name that the system uses by default, uncheck the Default Name box and enter a new name in the Name box. Click OK to close the New Multicore dialog box.

4. On the Multicores dialog box, the multicore is added to the Selected box. It has the appropriate indicator displayed below it. Click the multicore in the Selected column to make it active, and click a wire or multicore in the Available column to select it. Click Add to put the wire or multicore into the selected multicore.

5. Click OK to accept your changes.

Results

The multicore is added to a Multicores folder under the harness in the Design Browser (Design tab). The wires in the multicore are listed under it.

Note

You can assign a part number from Capital Component Manager to a multicore. See Assigning a Library Part to an Object.
