20120173207 | HARNESS DESIGN SUPPORT METHOD AND HARNESS DESIGN SUPPORT APPARATUS - An apparatus and method for supporting harness design. Harness information including a pass position of a harness is set on a three-dimensional model. Then, it is determined whether the harness whose position is decided so as to pass through the set pass position interferes with a mechanical part that is read from a storing unit that stores therein three-dimensional model data on the mechanical part through which the harness passes. When it is determined that the harness interferes with the mechanical part, from among a plurality of surfaces of the mechanical part, a surface that has not been selected is selected, and a pass position of the harness is set outside the selected surface. Then, a position of the harness that passes through the set pass position is decided. These processes are repeated until it is determined that the harness does not interfere with the mechanical part. | 07-05-2012 |
