Wiring Harness Design | Software Options
Summary
00:00 | - Alright I've got a few people asking about software for designing wiring schematics. |
00:07 | So I'll talk about that, we've got particularly Nicholo I think it is, not even gonna try and pronounce our next name I'm sorry, Arters has asked about these software packages. |
00:18 | So first of all, important to understand that at the club level, not essential to use a professional wiring schematic design software package. |
00:28 | These sort of packages can end up being really expensive so definitely not something that you absolutely need. |
00:35 | And at club level you can do an absolutely perfect job of documenting your harness construction and this is actually shown by Zac in our club level harness construction course using the likes of Excel and some neatly hand drawn documents on where everyhing's going to run. |
00:52 | If you do wanna step up and you wanna get a little bit flasher, the two options that are available, the slightly cheaper option is to use a product call Microsoft Visio. |
01:01 | That's pretty common even at some of the professional level harness constructors still using Visio. |
01:08 | The problem with Visio is that unless you're lucky enough to find someone who's prepared to share, you are gonna have to draw out all of the connectors that you are using if you wanna do the best job possible using Visio. |
01:19 | At the top level, there is software such as HarnWare from TE Connectivity, and this is what the upper level of motorsport harness fabricators, constructors wil be using. |
01:32 | But probably prohibitively expensive for just about anyone at the club level or just someone planning on doing maybe one or two harnesses themselves. |
01:40 | That question was taken from one of our free live lessons. |

01:53 | You'll learn about tidily bundling a section of wiring harness, correctly splicing a single wire out to multiple wires that might need to head to the various sensors in your engine bay, and the materials and tools suitable for use in a motorsport environment. |
02:07 | You'll also have the chance to ask your own questions which I’ll be answering live. |
