Validation

harness.design has several built-in tools to make sure your harness is built correctly.

To use the validation tools make sure warnings are enabled by left-clicking the Show warnings button at the bottom right of the Schematic or Layout views.

Wire Gauge

If the Wire gauge does not match the properties of the Contact, a warning is shown in the Schematic view.

If multiple wires go into one contact, the sizes will be summed to calculate the total gauge.

Connector Cavities

If the Connector and Connector Part do not match the number of cavities, a warning is shown in the Schematic view.

Parts with the same cavity count are suggested at the top of the parts list when assigning a part to a connector.

Unassigned Wires

Wires with no part assigned to them are highlighted in the Connection view as No Part.

Unrouted Wires

Wires that cannot be routed through Bundles will show a NO ROUTE warning on the Connection screen.

Unassigned Parts

Parts that have not been assigned to components are highlighted in the Parts view as Not Used.

Connector and Terminal Mates

Terminals and Connectors are validated to ensure that they are compatible mates. See:
