1.3.4                   Options

The options are used to specify how to represent the defined protection material in the project.

The following options are possible:

·            Aggregate Protections to Usage Location
The protection material is shown directly under the usage location. The protection material designation is taken from the catalog. If this option is not selected, then the protection material is placed under the wire harness and associated with the segment. The link to the protection material under the segment shows the name of the protection material.

·            Create automatic protection designation
The protection material designation is composed of the designations of the start and end points of the segment. Example: start point Connector Assembly P11-01, end point Branching Point results in the designation Branching Point-P11-01.

Example

The wizard assigns protection material to the segment between connector assembly P11-01 and a branching point.

Representation in the project

A corrugated tube (NW10) is assigned to segment S1 (between P11-01 and branching point) as protection material.

·            No option is selected

The protection material is shown under the cable harness (2), at segment S1 it is shown correspondingly (1).

·            With option Aggregate Protections to Usage Location

A usage location Branching Point-P11-01 is generated, underneath it the protection material is stored together with its catalog designation (2). The protection material is correspondingly shown at the segment S1 (1).

·            With option Create automatic protection designation

The protection material is shown with its designation Branching Point-P11-01 (2). The protection material is correspondingly shown at the segment S1 (1).

·            With the options Aggregate Protections to Usage Location and Create automatic protection designation

The protection material is shown under the usage location (Branching Point -P11-01) with the same designation as the usage location (2). The protection material is correspondingly shown at the segment S1 (1).
