Segment

Note: There is a newer version of this specification see KBL 2.5.sr1

Verbindungsabschnitt A Segment is a section of a Connection where no intermediate electrical contacts appear. At the beginning and at the end the same wires go in and out. Cables and wires are divided in segments. Every segment has its conditions like length, temperature range, etc.

Attributes

Name Type Mult. Description Owning Classifier
Id String 1

The id specifies the identifier of the Segment.

Segment
Alias_id Alias_identification 0..*

The alias_id specifies additional identifiers for the Segment. Example: Segement Ids may vary from one CAD system export to another. Therefore the CAD system Id is improper for Id attribute. Id shall have a value which is unique within the harness. Alias_id may be used for the CAD system Id.

Segment
Start_vector Double 0..3

The start_vector specifies the tangent of the center curve at the start position. Note: The value can be derived from the center_curve. To avoid that the receiving system has to calculate the value, it can be explicitly specified.

Segment
End_vector Double 0..3

The end_vector specifies the tangent of the center curve at the end position. Note: The value can be derived from the center_curve. To avoid that the receiving system has to calculate the value, it can be explicitly specified.

Segment
Virtual_length Numerical_value 0..1

The virtual_length specifies the represented length of the neutral phase of the segment in 3d.

Segment
Physical_length Numerical_value 0..1

The physical_length specifies the arc length of the neutral phase of the segment in 3d.

Segment
Form Segment_form 0..1

The form specifies information on the geometric shape of the Segment. The following values shall be used: - ‘circular’ - ’noncircular’
