Project 1

AIM:-

To Route the Wiring harness on Given Engine and Prepare flatten view drawing in CATIA V5. Apply all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course. Apply Protection coverings as required and to Prepare & Submit all necessary reports like clearance, Clipping/Clamping selection, Harness fixing requirements, Harness continuity, Assumptions if any along with CATIA 3D data. 

Procedure:-

All the Connectors, Mounting Equipments and Engine files downloaded from above path.

All the zip files are extracted

Open the CATIA software and convert the igs files into CAT parts

All the Connectors are electricaly defined.

Part body is opened and points are created for bundle entry.

Mating points are also created along with the axis definition

For channel External curve is drawn.

switch to electrical part design.

define the parts as connectors, Mounting Equipments and cavity as per the requirements.

define the point and bundle entry point

Connection connector point and Cavity Connection points are created.

above method is used for all the connectors,Mounting Equipments and cavity plugs.

created a catalog for all the components.

 

product is opened and it is named as wire Harness  Assembly Context as below.

Engine assembly is added in the tree.

create product and name as wire Harness Geomentric bundle.

It is defined as geomentric bundle.

add all the connectors, Mounting equipments,clips and clamps and etc. in geometric bundle.

 

The components are aligned as per Requirement by use of various commands to rotate and move.

Multi branchable is added to the geomentrical bundle.

Connectors are routed with the branch bundle by clicking the connectors

Branch point is added for sub branches to the main branch.

Protective covering is applied to the branches

New COT Tube is created and added to our catalog previuosly created

It is then applied to the branches.

 

Flattening:-

Open a new product file.

Change the tool settings.

Open Wiring harness Flattening.

Harness flatenning parameters are defined.

 

 Keep Drawing tab as shown below,

 

 Click extract and click the face of the Back door harness connector

 

It will be added as Ehf in the tree structure

Click flatten and click any face and click the bundles so the harness will flatten

 

 Use commands to arrange the bundle

We then open new drawing file

Set ISO Standard and A1 ISO as scale

Click front view command and switch to the flatten window and click the face

now the drawing will come to the drawing sheet.

Orient accordingly and click the properties
