TopologySegment

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.

Bending Restrictions A bending restriction defines restrictions on the bendability of a path in the topology. See TopologyBendingRestriction for a detailed description.

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.

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.

Routing A RoutingSpecification is a container for various Routings. Each Routing specifies a dedicated Path as an ordered list of TopologySegments through which the referenced RoutableElement is routed. A RoutableElement can either be a Connection or a WireElement (which can alternatively belong to a PartUsage or a PartOccurrence).
