Project 1

Objective:

Statement of assignment:

Route the Wiring harness on Given Engine and Prepare a flattened view drawing in CATIA V5. Application of all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course shall be demonstrated in design. Apply Protection coverings as required.

Available connector 3D data can be used, or you can download the connectors from www.te.com

Prepare & Submit all necessary reports like clearance, Clipping/Clamping selection, Harness fixing requirements, Harness continuity, and Assumptions if any along with CATIA 3D data.

Procedure:

Give the Electrical properties to the connectors, clip, p clamp, and channel.

Connector 1:

Chip:

Connector 2:

Connector 3:

P Clamp:

Furr Tree Chip:

Channel:

Deciding the routing path by observing the engine:

Start to align the connectors:

Use the 'Manipulation' and 'Smart Move' options to align the Connectors, Chip, P Clamp, and Channel.

Insert the connectors and align them.

Insert the L Clip Bracket.

Align the Connector Clip(Anti Rotating).

Insert the connector and connect it with the clip.

Insert the P Clamps and align them.

Insert Furr Tree Chips and align them.

Start routing the bundle segments:

Create branch.

Create branch points.

Hide the engine and the top channel for a better view.

Checking the connections.

Add protective covering.

Flattening the Harness Assembly:

Rotate the bundle segments. Align the P Clamps and Clips accordingly.

Create a 'Drawing' file and add the harness assembly to the drawing.

Change the properties.

Conclusion:

All the necessary properties are applied to the connectors, clip, p clamp, and channel.

Provided proper routing of the bundle with support parts like clips and clamps.

Added protective covering to the bundles.

Flattened the harness assembly completely. Placed the flattened view on the drawing sheet.
