Hi all,
I'm having a couple of issues with the harnessing tool on NX 8.5. I'm trying to adapt our models that have used space reservation stock to models where each individual wire is correctly harnessed, leading to the harness, and hence wire lengths, being accurately represented on a formboard.
However, I can't seem to model a bundle of wires properly. From what I can gather, I think there is a way to have each individual wire bundled together and held by a filler stock (as oppose to using space reservation to represent the volume where all of the wires would lie). How do I do this? The filler stock function on NX doesn't seem to do what I want, so I must be going wrong somewhere. Also, none of the specified stock seem to be hollow.
I have tried bundling the wires by having them pass through a series of points located near to each other but this can't be the correct way of doing it. Also, when I create a formboard from a model where, for example, there is two 10-wire connectors connected to each other, NX doesn't like it at all.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
