TopologyNode

Locations In order to describe a wiring harness, the abstract information of a topology must be enhanced with information about the concrete positions of components in the topology. For purposes of clarity the explanation of this concept is split into two diagrams.

Topology- and Topology Group Specification A TopologySpecification is a container for various TopologyNodes, TopologySegments and Zones. A TopologyNode represents an abstract place (meaning without concrete coordinates) in the wiring harness that can be typed either as EndNode, JunctionPoint or Inliner.

Topology Zones A TopologyZoneSpecification is a container to define TopologyZones. A TopologyZone is a way to define areas on that share a set of properties (e.g. environmental influence). To define the TopologyZone unambiguously an assignment of the topology elements to their zones is necessary.

Hierarchical Topologies Hierarchical topologies are a versatile concept to create harness topologies that have an advanced structural design. For historical reasons, the semantics defined by the VEC for topologies are quite strict and simple, yet sufficient for most cases of traditional wiring harnesses.

2D-Geometry A HarnessDrawingSpecification2D represents a specific harness drawing. Each HarnessDrawingSpecification2D is a container for various instances of the class BuildingBlockPositioning2D. Each BuildingBlockPositioning2D determines the positioning of a certain BuildingBlockSpecification2D in the context of the HarnessDrawingSpecification2D by referencing the relevant BuildingBlockSpecification2D and specifying the target centerPoint as CartesianPoint2D.

3D-Geometry A HarnessGeometrySpecification3D represents either a 3D-model in the car coordinate system or a 3D-model in the formboard system. Each HarnessGeometrySpecification3D is a container for various instances of the class BuildingBlockPositioning3D.
