HARNESS WIRING PATH CALCULATION METHOD, AND HARNESS WIRING PATH DESIGN SUPPORT APPARATUS AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that in a harness design for a machine product, apparatus, printed board, etc., specifying points of passage of harnesses in a three-dimensional model is enormous and specifying points of passage inside an apparatus is difficult when the apparatus is of a complicated three-dimensional structure.;SOLUTION: A harness wiring path search space set based on a three-dimensional model of an apparatus and a harness condition is divided to calculate a plurality of grid points. Grid points closest to the direction of a path terminal are extracted sequentially from grid points that are set with a wiring path starting point as a starting point and that are outside a wiring path forbidden region. When a radius of curvature calculated from extracted grid points is larger than a harness minimum radius of curvature, the extracted grid points are selected sequentially as wiring path grid points.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
