A methodology to enable automatic 3D routing of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System

Harness 3D routing is one of the most challenging steps in the design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS). This is due not only to the intrinsic complexity of the EWIS, but also to the increasing number of applying design constraints and its dependency on any change in the design of the airframe and installed systems....

Automatic 3D Routing for the Physical Design of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems for Aircraft

Harness 3D routing is one of the most challenging steps in the design of aircraft Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS), due to the intrinsic complexity of the EWIS, the increasing number of applying design constraints, and its dependency on the design changes of the airframe and installed systems. The current routing process employed...

Survey on the implementation and reliability of CubeSat electrical bus interfaces

This paper provides results and conclusions on a survey on the implementation and reliability aspects of CubeSat bus interfaces, with an emphasis on the data bus and power distribution. It provides recommendations for a future CubeSat bus standard. The survey is based on a literature study and a questionnaire representing 60 launched CubeSats...

Improving layout of wiring harness production drawings

Aircraft wiring is fast becoming one of the most essential subsystems in major civil aircraft programs. The tendency towards a large-scale integration of electrical systems means the amount of signals and therefore the size and magnitude of wire harnesses are increasing. For example, Airbus’ A380 passenger jet aircraft encompasses a vast amount...
