Research and realization on cable harness modeling and route planning in virtual environment

To solve the problem that Cable Harness is difficult to express and discommodious to handle in virtual environment because of its flexible specialty, a discrete control point modeling method of cable harness and the cable harness assembly routing technique based on it were proposed. And the user can assemble cable harness in virtual environment rapidly by handling one single control point or several control points or the whole cable. At the same time, we can memory the process and result data by the technology of real-time tracing and recording the position information of control points, which will be useful in the process of cable harness routing process planning.
