Smart collaboration for the automotive harness industry
E³.Harness Analyzer is a powerful tool for viewing and analyzing harness drawings in the HCV container data format. HCV is an extension of industry standard KBL (physical data model) and SVG (vector graphics) data. A key benefit is the ability to manage configurations based on modules for customer-specific harnesses (KSK).
These features provide a new level of ease-of-use when sharing the comprehensive harness design model and documents with internal or external project teams.
E³.HarnessAnalyzer paves the way for harness design collaboration in the demanding automotive, special vehicles and wider transportation industries. It is easy to use and allows efficient viewing, browsing, analyzing, validating and commenting on the design model and related drawings generated by today’s growing number of authoring tools. The tool enables OEMs to optimize their process chain and collaborate with their suppliers. It allows detailed harness data to be made available to all stakeholders, such as release engineers, quality inspectors and production planners.

See how E³.HarnessAnalyzer allows viewing, browsing, analyzing, validating and commenting on the design model and related drawings:
E³.HarnessAnalyzer supports the display of wire harnesses as both 2D and 3D structures. The 3D capability is based on 3D coordinates that are specified in KBL, VEC or PLMXML structures.
Leveraging these coordinates, E³.HarnessAnalyzer generates a dynamic 3D representation that is directly coupled to the KBL data model.
In addition to topological information, KBL, VEC and PLMXML data also contain connectivity information of wire harnesses and their components. Leveraging this information, E³.HarnessAnalyzer can generate schematic views applying user-defined filter criteria.
The schematic is then automatically compiled in a fraction of a second. The generated diagram is fully linked to the 2D and 3D view.
Master harness drawings may contain module families along with their modules. E³.HarnessAnalyzer displays the related information on module families and modules according to STEP AP212 KBL data structure – module history information included.
The module structure can be used to filter the information in views and lists for the content of a single module or an arbitrary combination of modules.
