  • Prototype wiring synthesis
    Patent number: 10625692
    Abstract: This application discloses a computing system to receive a specification of prototype wiring corresponding to a signal in a logical design of a wire harness, locate a section of a vehicle to include a portion of the wire harness corresponding to the signal in the logical design, and insert the prototype wiring into a physical design of the wire harness corresponding to the located section of the vehicle. The specification of the prototype wiring can identify a particular vehicle configuration and insert the prototype wiring into a physical design of the wire harness for the particular vehicle configuration. The computing system can receive constraints configured to control synthesis of the logical design into the physical design of the wire harness, and generate portions of the physical design of the wire harness based on the constraints, while retaining the prototype wiring that was inserted into the physical design.
    Type: Grant
