Project 1

Objective:

           To route the Wiring harness on the given Engine and Prepare flatten view drawing in CATIA V5.

Process:

Defining the cad files:

• Open the igs files and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.
• Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.
• Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.
• We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.
• Now we can switch to electric part design.
• Select the command bundle connection point.
• Enter the number of terminals required.
• Now we can define the support parts and mounting equipment.

                    

                   

                  

                 

                 

                 

                

                

               

               

               

              

Routing:

• Open a new product file.
• Select the parent part and copy, and paste all the connectors we have defined.
• Now we can open the electrical harness design workbench.
• Now align all the connectors and support parts on the engine.
• Now we can select branch definition.
• We can route the bundle segments from the main connector to all the p clamps.
• For the main bundle segment, the diameter is 10mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
• Now we can start routing the sub-branches with a diameter of 7mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
• After routing the entire engine, click on ctrl+f.
• Click on advance and select electrical, bundle segment, and fully connected.
• Now click on false to check for any non-connected bundle segments.
• We can also hide the points, planes, and axis system before flattening.

              

               

               

                                                 

Flattening:

• Open electrical harness flattening workbench.
• Select the flattening parameters command.
• Fill in the required parameters and click ok.
• Select the tile vertically command.
• Now Click on the extract option.
• click on flatten option.
• Select the guiding channel face and select all electrical bundles.

                                            

                                            

                                            

                                            

                       

Drawing:

• Open a new drawing file.
• Click on the front view option.
• Now open the flatten assembly and select the face we have selected for flattening.
• Right-click on the red box around the drawing.
• Now enable the 3D wireframe option and is always visible option.
• Select the text option and name all the parts.
• To insert the Bill of materials, click on insert- Generate- Bill of material.
• We can also save the drawing in pdf format.

                       

Result:

We have routed the Wiring harness on the given Engine and Prepared flatten view drawing in CATIA V5.
