Hysim Invited to the 14th Automotive Wiring Harness and E - E Architecture Innovation Technology Summit
On August 20—21, 2026, the 14th Automotive Wiring Harness and Electronic and Electrical Architecture Innovation Technology Summit and Exhibition was successfully concluded at the Sheraton Shanghai Jiading Hotel. Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) brought IPS flexible cable design and simulation integration solutions to this summit, and the company's IPS technical experts delivered keynote speeches.
This forum focuses on "ZhiLian · Tong" - reconstructing the "nervous system" of the car. With technology as the cutting edge, we brought together the world's top host factories, Tier 1 suppliers, chip giants and scientific research leaders to conduct in-depth analysis and forward-looking discussions on full-dimensional issues such as high-voltage charging, high-speed transmission, intelligent wiring harness, wiring harness simulation, Al empowerment, electronic and electrical architecture, domain control and chips, functional safety, thermal management, new materials and processes.
I. Meeting Highlights
During the two-day summit, dozens of experts from vehicle manufacturers, parts and software companies took the stage in turn: SAIC Volkswagen Ye Huiling shared the optimization of limited space wiring under lightweight wiring harness materials and topological innovation, Geely Automobile Focused Architecture Reshaping and Flattening Reducing Weight and Cost, Chery Co., Ltd. and China Automotive Research Institute respectively discussed EMC's collaborative anti-jamming design of high-speed and high-voltage links and wire harness shielding performance testing.
Entering the second day, the topic further sank to the quasi-central computing and regional control architecture. BAIC Foton, Jingwei Hengrun, Texas Instruments, Ambofo, Xiaopeng Automobile, Desay SV, etc. shared relatively new mass production practices and technical solutions in the direction of 800V high-voltage + SDV architecture integration, regional controller solutions, and vehicle EE architecture for the AI era.
In addition to many cutting-edge issues, the "IPS Flexible Cable Design and Simulation Integrated Solution" brought by Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) gives a specific idea of the wiring harness design from the perspective of flexible cable simulation and virtual assembly verification.
II. Hysim Technology: Simulation-driven wiring harness design change
Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) is a domestic partner of Dassault Systèmes, IPS software fleXstructures, and has long provided PLMVR full-life-cycle digital twin virtual prototype solutions for high-end manufacturing users such as automobiles, rail transit, aerospace, marine vessels, military machinery, and energy and electricity.
At the summit site, Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) detailed the integrated solution for IPS flexible cable design and simulation. The program covers the entire process from logical design to two-dimensional and three-dimensional data release, realizing the transformation and upgrading from two-dimensional to three-dimensional and static to dynamic, which can effectively improve R&D efficiency, reduce unreasonable design problems, and reduce verification costs.
The solution is designed around a harness that provides six core competencies throughout its lifecycle:
- Dynamic clearance analysis of the wiring harness, by simulating the real-time deformation state of the wiring harness under vehicle movement conditions, continuously detecting the dynamic clearance between the wiring harness and the chassis and body parts, identifying interference risks in advance at the program stage and optimizing the wiring harness direction;
- Wire harness bending radius analysis, accurately calculate the bending shape of the wire harness during driving, check whether the minimum bending radius meets the vehicle design specifications, and avoid insulation damage and core wire damage caused by excessive cable bending from the root;
- Stress analysis of the wiring harness, simulating the tension and torsional load of the vehicle under turning, bumping and other working conditions, collecting stress data of the wiring harness at key points such as fasteners and connectors, investigating the hidden danger of overloading of the tension, and guiding the optimization of the layout of the clamp and the length of the wiring harness;
- Durability analysis, through the calculation of the damage value of the pipeline movement process, horizontally compare the damage value of different design schemes, choose a better scheme, and greatly reduce the number of hardware prototype tests;
- Harness assembly analysis, virtual reproduction of the entire vehicle assembly process, check in advance assembly stuck, inconvenient wiring and other process problems, optimize the harness segmentation and vehicle layout scheme;
- Immersive wiring harness assembly verification, relying on VR interactive and intuitive simulation of the actual vehicle installation process, multi-angle verification of wiring harness layout interference and assembly accessibility, so that design defects are fully exposed before the production of physical samples, significantly shortening the trial production cycle.
III. From Fraunhofer, the technical base is solid
The IPS (Industrial Path Solution) software used in the solution, which originated from the ITWM and FCC research institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft association in Germany and was commercialized by Fraunhofer ITWM high-tech derivative fleXstructures GmbH (founded in 2012 and headquartered in Kaiserslautern, Germany), is an advanced industrial path simulation software. Its product portfolio covers IPS cable simulation, IPS man-machine simulation, IPS rigid body path planning and IPS immersive interaction, and has served international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and GM, as well as domestic automobile companies such as Chang 'an, Geely, Great Wall, NiO, and Ideal, and has been widely used in rail transit and aerospace fields such as CRRC Sifang and CRRC Tangshan.
IV. The booth was very popular and customer exchanges were very active
At the exhibition site, Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) Booth has attracted much attention with its integrated solution for IPS flexible cable design and simulation. The representatives of automobile manufacturers, parts and wiring harness companies who came to consult and exchange were endless. On-site customers showed great interest in the virtual assembly verification of VR immersive experience wiring harness cables. They had in-depth discussions with technical personnel around actual scenarios such as high-voltage wiring harness dynamic simulation, cable layout output, and VR assembly feasibility verification. The exchange atmosphere was warm, and the booth response far exceeded expectations.
V. From "experience-driven" to "simulation-driven"
In the face of the accelerated evolution of high-pressure, lightweight and software-defined vehicles in the automotive industry, wiring harness design is transforming from "experience-driven" to "simulation-driven". The design and simulation integration path proposed by Beijing Hysim Technology Co., Ltd. (Hysim Technology) couples the dynamic deformation, stress distribution, and durable damage of flexible cables with the operating conditions of the vehicle, and supports engineers to complete the full life cycle verification of high and low voltage wiring harnesses and high-frequency high-speed cables in a virtual environment, providing quantifiable wiring harness engineering support for regional architecture, central computing, and other next-generation EEA landings.
"Immersive, practical and vendor-neutral — that is how HYSIM approaches virtual simulation for manufacturing."
