    Abstract: A three dimensional (3D) backshell component is flattened to a two dimensional (2D) representation while maintaining a connected wiring component in 3D. Sketch segments for a curved 3D backshell connected first route segment within the backshell housing are stored. A first tangent is computed for a first entry point at a first end point of the connected first route segment, and a flattened route is calculated for route segments unconnected to the backshell. A flattened route position and a second tangent are calculated for a second route segment connected with the first route segment at a second entry point corresponding to the first entry point. The first entry point and the second entry point are aligned, and the first tangent and the second tangent are aligned, and the flattened unconnected route segment aligned with the 3D backshell component is displayed.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for creating a flattened version of a three-dimensional electrical harness assembly design in a computer-aided design environment. The method includes storing data in computer memory including route segment identifiers, diameters, lengths, and end points for route segments in the electrical harness assembly. A computer processor designates route segments as forming a trunk line of the electrical harness assembly, based on the stored data, and produces a flattened two-dimensional version of the design. All the route segments designated as forming the trunk line are represented in the flattened 2D version by straight connected lines, having a particular orientation (e.g., horizontal), and every other route segment is represented as extending out from the trunk line. The flattened 2D version is displayed on a display screen of a computer.
