Abstract
In the last few years the technological contents of vehicles are changed very much. Nowadays the presence of electric/electronic devices has grown up especially to improve the safety and the comfort of driver and passengers (ABS, air bag, air conditioning systems) or to control the emissions and the behaviour of engine in different situation. For this reason the wiring harness, the design process and tools become more and more complex in spite of shorter time to market. The use of CAD/CAE systems, integrated/adapted to the automotive makers requirements, will permit to optimize the wiring harness design process.
