Abstract: A method for developing a wiring design for a complex system includes creating a master wire harness network (MWHN) within pathway space reservations of a pathway space-reservation network of the complex system. In this regard, the MWHN can comprise a model of possible wiring pathways between equipment of the complex system, and can include wire harness elements interconnecting termination device elements. The method can also include importing a subsystems definition capable of being represented by interconnections between the equipment. Thus, one or more logical net harnesses (LNHs) can be created based upon the MWHN and the subsystems definition. The LNH, then, can comprise a collection of interconnections routed within the MWHN. One or more logical wire harnesses (LWHs) can be created based upon the LNHs, after which one or more end-item configurations (EICs) can be created based upon the LWHs.

Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media for designing a wiring harness assembly are provided. Wiring data is automatically extracted from wiring harness installation models for a plurality of zones of the system. Wiring connections between the wiring harness installation models are reconciled. At least one wiring harness assembly model is automatically generated from the wiring harness data extracted from the wiring harness installation models.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for interactively troubleshooting interconnections between systems. Data is inputted for a plurality of equipment segments for a plurality of systems. The data for the plurality of equipment segments is read. From and to endpoints of the equipment segments are calculated. Graphics data for the plurality of equipment segments is automatically generated, and the graphics data for the plurality of equipment segments is displayed.

Abstract: A last chance aircraft back-up hydraulic system in which fuel from the fuel tanks of the aircraft is injected into the return line of a leaking hydraulic system by use of a pump activated by a guarded switch by the aircraft's pilot. The fuel serves as hydraulic fluid to operate the pumps of the system as it is injected upstream from the fluid being lost to extend the operating time of the system and prevent failure so the aircraft can be landed at a site.
