The Capital Harness Designer course introduces users to the basic and more complex functionality within the Capital Harness Designer product. This tool provides a seamless transition of data from Capital Logic Designer or Capital Systems Integrator into Capital Harness Designer, and demonstrates how to pull mechanical data from third-party MCAD tools into Capital Harness Designer. The course also demonstrates how to create and maintain individual design objects (e.g., wires, multicores, clips, connectors, etc.) within the harness diagrams.
This course is for designers, engineers, and harness manufacturers who need to harness designs and diagrams.
Familiarity with concepts of harness and cable design is desirable in the students.
