Invest in Cable and Harness Design with Eplan: New Training Dates
What is Eplan Cable proD?
Eplan Cable proD is a 3D design software that allows engineers to route cables accurately within machines and systems. By working directly within a digital mechanical layout, users can determine the precise lengths and paths for each cable before installation begins. This approach leads to reduced material waste and fewer installation errors, while also supporting greater collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams.
By identifying potential issues early and aligning design data across departments, Cable proD makes it easier to deliver projects on time and to a higher standard. The software integrates seamlessly with other Eplan tools too, allowing for a smooth transition from schematic design to manufacturing.
What is Eplan Harness proD?
Eplan Harness proD is designed to support the complete process of 3D wire harness design and documentation. It allows users to combine mechanical and electrical data to create accurate harness layouts within a virtual environment. Engineers can import wiring lists, route wires directly within a 3D mechanical model, and automatically generate detailed documentation such as 2D nailboard drawings.
By using the software to validate harnesses virtually, teams can significantly reduce the need for physical prototypes and avoid last-minute design changes. Harness proD also ensures consistent data flow between ECAD and MCAD systems, supporting efficiency from concept through to production.
A few of the key topics covered in the online Harness proD training includes:
- Clear management of all documents and information of a Wire Harness Project
- Transfer of 3D data; interfaces to common MCAD systems and neutral CAD formats
- Easy definition of cable and wiring harness paths with intuitive "point-and-click" method in 3-dimensional space
- Fully automatic routing of wires and cables on predefined paths
- Test functions: Control of minimum bending radii, cross sections (also AWG) and wire harness collisions as well as checking bundle diameters
- User-defined material and parts lists, cable plans, as well as time, cost and quality control and weight calculations
Why Training Matters
While both Cable proD and Harness proD are designed to simplify complex engineering tasks, proper training is essential to unlock their full potential. Our upcoming training sessions provide a structured learning environment guided by experienced instructors. Participants will gain a practical understanding of each tool’s core functionality, learning how to apply features effectively to real-world projects.
The training also offers guidance on best practices, helping users avoid common errors and confidently integrate these tools into their existing processes. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped with the skills needed to accelerate design timelines, improve documentation quality, and reduce rework.
Upcoming Training Dates
The next Eplan Harness proD training session will take place virtually from the 17th June 2025 and will run over four days.
The Eplan Cable proD training is scheduled for the 8th July 2025 and will be delivered virtually over three days.
Both courses are now open for registration and spaces are available.
