Abstract
A method can include allowing a user to place a first wiring harness design component within a wiring harness topology in a wiring harness design workspace, allowing the user to place a first plurality of ground devices within the first wiring harness design component placed in the wiring harness topology, allowing the user to request an automatic ground combination, and, in response to the user requesting an automatic ground combination, automatically applying at least one electronically stored ground combination rule to a first set of ground devices comprising a plurality of the first plurality of ground devices and automatically combining at least two of the first set of ground devices into a first combined ground device based at least in part on the applied at least one electronically stored ground combination rule.
