Composite Parts
Before reading these implementation guidelines, it is highly recommended to read the “Composite Part Descriptions” section and its subsections in the VEC Online Model Description first. Whereas the model description defines the general concepts of multilevel composite parts and 100% and 150% variance for those parts, this implementation guideline follows a use case oriented approach and explains the correct usage of the different aspects of a VEC implementation (e.

Instantiation of Model Structures
There are various locations in the VEC model where structures / patterns are defined and used / instantiated somewhere else (e.g. a connector with its slots and cavities). In most cases, the elements in the definition of a structure have corresponding elements in the instancing (e.

Expected Behaviour of VEC Interfaces
A wide range of different systems, supporting different use cases, are used in the process of wiring harness development. All of them might have a VEC-Interface for input & output, so sooner or later the question arises “What are the expectations for the behavior of those interfaces?

Assemblies, Modules and Harness (Configurations)
Assemblies, Modules and Harness (Configurations) The KBL introduced different concepts for composite parts: harnesses, modules, harness configurations and assemblies. The KBL defines a harness as a set of occurrences, just like an assembly.

Harness and Variants
Harness and Variants In addition to the CompositionSpecification and the PartStructureSpecification, the VEC defines two other concepts to control occurrences, especially composite parts (e.g. modules): ModuleFamily and ModuleList. PartWithSubComponentsRoles referenced by a ModuleFamily respectively the OccurrenceOrUsage these PartWithSubComponentRoles belong to are mutually exclusive.
