Optimized Complexity

Optimized complexity refers to a complexity solution of harness levels in which the user has optimized the levels based on metrics and volumes.

The volumes result from the take rates entered in the Take Rate Editor Dialog Box. In most cases, this requires Giveaway. In some cases, the zero giveaway solution may be optimal in which case the Full Complexity and optimized complexity results are the same.

The optimized levels are used in Composite Wiring Synthesis. The purpose of an optimized level is that it can be manufactured cost effectively.

When defining the optimized complexity for a harness you can either:

• Manually specify giveaway options and giveway variants.

• Have the system automatically calculate which options and variants to give away in order to have the optimal harness complexity.

In the automatic process, you do the following:, and can , as well as .

• Define an upper limit of harness levels.

• Exclude specific options and variants from being given away.

• Define conditions under which you can give away an option or variant.

The system calculates the optimized complexity (giveaway) within these restrictions.
