Understanding Electrical Assembly Structure: Sub-Assembly
Using this technique, the electrical assembly is created as a sub-assembly within each respective mechanical
sub-assembly, as shown in Figure 1. This option is best used when the electrical sub-assembly part number
is required in the mechanical sub-assembly Bill of Material. A good example of when this technique can be
used is when designing with prefabricated cables.

As shown in Figure 1, the electrical sub-assembly is created within its respective mechanical sub-assembly.
Note that with this option, the whole harness or sub-harness is flattened as one. Figure 1 also demonstrates
how data sharing features can be used to transfer information into the electrical skeleton from various
mechanical components.
