Validating Physical Harness Levels against Full Complexity Harness

Levels

You can validate physical harness levels from a topology design against the full complexity vehicle levels from the product plan. This identifies whether any full complexity harness levels are unsupported and whether you can make a physical harness level support it.

When running validation, you open two diagrams from the project:

One diagram from a design with modular wiring in it that was used when creating the product plan. The modular is derived from the product plan and this defines the required connectivity.
One diagram that contains the physical wiring that should support the modular. You can create this in Capital Systems Integrator or import it using a connector.

Prerequisites

You must have generated the Full Complexity harness levels for the harness (see Manually Generating the Full Complexity Harness Levels for a Harness).
The topology diagram containing the physical harness levels must exist in the same project as the design used to create the product plan.

Procedure

Open the two diagrams in Capital Systems Integrator.
Click the diagram containing the synthesized, required wiring to ensure that it is active in the Diagram Window, press Space Bar and enter Harness Level optimization; the Harness Level Optimization Dialog Box displays.Caution The diagram containing the synthesized, required wiring must be the active diagram. The diagram containing the physical wiring is validated against it.
Select a harness in the Harness table and click the Validate another complexity design against this Full Complexity requirement () button.The Validation: Dialog Box displays and the full complexity harness levels for the harness display in the Full Complexity Requirements window. This window indicates which of those harness levels are supported or are not supported by the physical harness level. Note If harness connector names in the full complexity design do not match connector names in the physical design, the Connector Mapping Tool Dialog Box displays first. Use the dialog box to map the full complexity connectors to connectors on the physical harness. The mapping is stored on the physical connector as a property. You can view, edit, or delete this property like any other property. When you click OK or Cancel on the Connector Mapping Tool dialog box, the “Validation:” dialog box displays. OK saves any changes to the mappings whereas Cancel does not.
Either: Select a supported harness level in the Full Complexity Requirements window, the Available Levels window displays the physical harness levels that support it. The lowest cost physical level displays in bold at the top of the list.

Select an unsupported harness level in the Full Complexity Requirements window, the Available Levels window displays the physical harness levels that could be made to support it.

Select a physical harness level in the Available Levels window:If a supported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that supports it is selected in the Available Levels window, the Harness Results, Connectors window and Signals window indicate the Giveaway cost of that harness level and which connectors / signals are given away.

If an unsupported harness level is selected in the Full Complexity Requirements window and a physical level that could support it is selected in the Available Levels window, the Harness Results, Connectors window and Signals window indicate the additional cost of using that physical harness level to support the full complexity harness level and which required connectors / signals are currently missing from the physical harness level.

Create a detailed report by clicking the Save detailed validation report for this harness () button to display a dialog box where you specify where you want to save the report and the file name.
Click Save to return to the “Validation:” dialog box.
Click OK to exit the dialog box.
