Mutually-Exclusive

Variant Group

You can use groups of the variants (variant options) to identify mechanical differences within harness families. The key attribute of this ‘group of vehicle model groups’ (called Mutually-Exclusive Variant Groups) is that the groups within the group are mutually-exclusive.

For example, there may be two groups: 1) LHD and 2) RHD. These can then be placed in a Mutually-Exclusive Variant Group called LHD_RHD. Once that is done, you can state that the LHD_RHD group applies to a harness family later in the harness optimization process. This means, harness levels generated for a vehicle model that is part of the LHD group cannot be shared with levels generated for vehicle models in the RHD group. This is how you can force mechanical variations into the complexity for that specific harness family.
