Wire harness design support system
First Claim
1. A wire harness design support system for supporting designing a path layout of a wire harness wired in a predetermined location and a jig plate layout for manufacturing the wire harness, comprising:
- a path data storing unit for storing at least current path data related to a current path layout;
a jig plate data storing unit for storing at least current jig plate data related to a current jig plate layout;
a path data acquiring unit for acquiring new path data related to a new path layout in which modification is required;
a difference information detecting unit for comparing the new path data and the current path data and detecting difference information between both data; and
a current jig plate layout output unit for adding information which is calculated based upon the difference information and has an effect upon the current jig plate layout, to the current jig plate layout calculated based upon the current path data, and outputting the current jig plate layout to which the information is added.

Abstract
The object of the invention is to provide a wire harness design support system that suitably corresponds to the frequent modification of design and enhances the design efficiency of a jig plate layout and a path layout draft in accordance with it. To achieve the object, guide information calculated based upon a request for modification from a car manufacturer for guiding a modifiable location of a jig plate layout is added to the jig plate layout and it is output. Besides, the jig plate layout can be modified according to an instruction to modify the jig plate layout utilizing the guide information. Further, a path layout draft that reflects the modification of the jig plate layout is also output.
