Product Description

Learn the fundamental principles and recommended workflows for creating and documenting 3D electrical parts and wire harness designs using Autodesk® Inventor® software. Users learn how to add electrical components, cables, and wires to a design, route wires through an assembly to create a harness, and create ribbon cables. Users also learn how to document the wire harness assembly in drawings and generate reports used to build the wire harnesses. Hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios are included.
