Research on Cable Route Planning Based on Secondary Development of CATIA

Abstract

With the development and minimization of electronics, it is necessary to plan the cable route scientifically. In order to solve the defects of the traditional method of cable layout, a cable route planning method on Secondary Development of CATIA is proposed in this manuscript. For the complicated electrical equipment, the cable path searching is implemented by improving ACO. After that, secondary development of CATIA has been proposed in order to plan the cable fast and effective. In the end, based on the case of an aeronautical product the maneuverability of the method has been verified.
