Capital Harness Classic

Powerful features with a traditional 2D CAD geometry interface

Capital Harness Classic Screenshot

Capital Harness Classic is a fully featured harness design, formboard and engineering tool with many powerful features built on a traditional 2D CAD geometry interface. The predecessor to Capital HarnessXC, Capital Harness Classic is used by most major harness manufacturers worldwide.

Capital Harness Classic is designed to speed the harness layout and engineering process by automating many of the tasks that are typically performed by the harness engineer, including part selection, decomposition of 150% harnesses into buildable harnesses, and creation of manufacturing reports.

Features and Benefits

  • Fully featured drawing environment with intelligent symbols and functions that automate many tasks
  • Automated part selection/configuration of connectors, terminals, tapes, etc – driven by user-configurable algorithms that validate the design
  • Provides composite 150% design and derivate/variant decomposition facilities that reduce workload and cuts time.
  • Automated Report generation cuts time, improves quality
  • Embedded design rule checking and error reporting ensure that designs are correct-by-construction, eliminating costly errors before production
  • Audit trail and design comparison facilities simplify change management and change tracking
  • Powerful 3D CAD integration and change management facilities support concurrent design iterations

Modular Harness Design

Automatic Harness Definition

Capital Modular enables harnesses to be defined automatically from a series of sub-modules corresponding to either a vehicle function or manufacturing process.

  • Enables harnesses to be defined automatically from a series of sub-modules corresponding to either a vehicle function or manufacturing process.
  • Graphical front end allows module inter-dependency to easily defined.
  • Processing algorithms define module structure and BOM automatically.
  • Graphical filtering enables sub-modules to be viewed at the click of a mouse.
  • Manages of a large and complex array on information eliminating user-error and facilitates a faster time-to-market.
  • Individual modules can be costing for labor time and material cost ensuring product profitability / facilitating effective process planning.

Calculate Material Cost

Capital Costing takes the completed harness design and automatically calculates assembly times and material costs accurately and quickly. Capital Costing enables users to create a "virtual factory" to provide detailed harness assembly times and components costs. Its hierarchical cost models enables complex harness manufacturing processes to be modeled easily.

  • Extensive material cost models support: the following:
    • multiple currencies and exchange rates
    • component purchase costs from a variety of suppliers
    • selling prices to a range of customers
    • copper buying, selling and market rates
  • Project calculations enable multiple harnesses with independent production volumes to be costed as a group providing a business-wide commercial picture.
  • Quotes are produced quickly without user intervention saving costly personnel involvement in creating routine analyses; in addition, the time to quote is reduced improving overall customer service levels.
  • Eliminates user intervention in the costing process resulting in consistent error-free cost model interpretation and therefore quoting accuracy.
  • Greater accuracy and powerful reporting enables companies to understand the nature of their costs ensure profit margins are maintained.
