Design and Optimization of the Wiring Harness
Find cost-effective wire and cable assembly designs efficiently. PREEvision guides you through the entire wire harness design workflow, providing multiple modeling layers with dedicated tables and clear diagrams to drive your engineering momentum.
As vehicle architectures become increasingly software-defined and complex, managing the physical implementation requires absolute precision. You eliminate disconnected data silos and manual rework by bringing your entire wiring harness development into one shared model. From early topology concepts to final production data, PREEvision ensures your electrical design stays consistent, traceable, and fully aligned with the overall system architecture.
Master Every Layer of Your Design
Evaluate alternatives, optimize your architecture, and develop the wire harness in precise detail. PREEvision equips you with specialized modeling layers that cover your entire system: hardware network topology, electrical schematics, wire harness structures, and vehicle geometry.
You leverage powerful built-in tools to accelerate this process. A sophisticated harness router, seamless import and export functions via VEC or KBL, and precise power calculations give system architects the exact data they need to make confident decisions.
