I would like to say that electrical wire harness rules, checks, reactions, design tables, etc are very specialized based on an industry and each company. If you are looking for specific items you may be better served in asking how to questions that may invoke a response that you could build for your company specific electrical wire harness rules, checks, reactions, design tables, etc. So for example if you where part of the automotive, aerospace, and heavy equipment focus and needed an automotive reaction to insure that clamps for a harness where only placed into a geometric bundle CATProduct for that harness. This may be done as can many other kinds of things. It boils down to several items:
Build in quality - don't check it in!
Have the tools help designer with repetitive task.
Use seed models to populate many common KBE components into harness design.
There are several good expliantion of what is availbe for electrical within the DS provided User Guides:
