Wiring of Cables Based on Virtual Prototyping

Wiring of cables is very important in the design of electro-mechanical products. Whereas, there is not an effectual virtual wiring method for the moment. Aimed at the problem, a virtual wiring is expatiated in this paper. Virtual layout design is achieved based on human-computer interaction, which is verified by virtual assembling. Geometrical modeling of cables, the precision of which is quite high, is established based on energy-optimized method. The characteristic of virtual assembling to the products, which make up of cables and other parts, is discussed. Especially, the assemble technique programming and transformation simulating of cables are studied. In the end, the wiring is actualized on a product, intention to validate the feasibility of the method.
