Abstract
Abstract
We describe a system for routing cable harnesses in complex, three-dimensional environments. The approach taken is to automate the basic routing process as much as possible, while allowing designers to guide the system and modify the numerically generated results at any stage. The system begins by quickly generating a coarse routing based on an initial guess of the cable harness configuration (topological structure). Paths are then successively refined to minimize a cost function, while satisfying physical constraints such as minimum bending radius. Human input is useful both for guiding the system away from local minima and for responding to case-specific constraints not encoded in the router.
