This task explains how to define flattening parameters.
This should be done before using any other function of the Electrical
Harness Flattening workbench. |
|
Open the
3D-Install Harness document. |
|
-
Open a new product document using the File > New...
command.
Choose the Product type.
-
Click Harness Flattening Parameters
.
The Harness Flattening Parameters dialog box opens on
the General tab: |
|
Keep the default values:
- xy plane as the Active plane
- For more information refer to
Electrical Harness Flattening.
- Coarse as the Algorithm mode and
Standard as the Angle mode
- 5 degrees as the Minimum angle between two branches.
|
-
Select the Flattening Orientation tab.
-
Specify the orientation of the device during the
flattening step:
Select Device placed in the active plane.
The local Z axis of the device is positioned perpendicular to the active
plane specified in the General tab of this dialog box.
-
Specify the support orientation:
Select Support orientated according to a regular angle.
The orientation by default of the supports keeps the real position (angle
between 0°
and 360°).
Supports will be placed according to the closest regular angle they have
in 3D. They are four regular angles (0°,
90°,
180°
and 270°).
It enables you to prevent bundle segments from twisting.

The parameters you have entered will be automatically
applied to the other functions available in this workbench. You will be
able to modify them at any time during your session by double-clicking the
Flattening Parameters icon in the specification tree.
