Project 1

Objective :

The objective of this project is to create the routing for the given Engine and prepare to flatten the view drawing in CATIA V the mechanical part as an electrical connector and apply the electrical properties to the Connectors.

Procedure :

Procedure for Connector Definition:

• Initially, the mechanical model of the required connectors is downloaded.
• After that, the downloaded source file (Stp/Igs) is converted into CAT Part.
• Connector Definition :

1) Create/Download Connector 3D

2) Create required Geometrical Parameters

• In the third step the required reference points like Bundling entry point, Connector connection point, and Cavity connection point.
• Also, the required axis system for the Connector and Cavity is created.

3) Define part as Connector

• The parts are defined as connectors by using the "define connector" option in CATIA
• While defining the connector, depending on the connector number of the terminal is mentioned.

4) Define “Bundle connection point”

• The following parameters are defined for the "Bundle Connection Point"

5) Define “ connector connection point”

• The following parameters are defined for the "connector connection point"

6) Define “ cavity connection point ”

• The following parameters are defined for the "cavity connection point"
• The cavity connection point is an optional one. For some components, we will use a cavity depending on the requirement.

Procedure Clamp:

• Initially, the mechanical model of the required connectors is downloaded.
• After that, the downloaded source file (Stp/Igs) is converted into CAT Part.
• The geometrical parameters are applied to the electrical support.
• After that, the entry point and plane are selected for the clamps use "define support option"

• Also, the base and exit planes are selected in the same way.
• The clamps will have 2 entry and exit points. Clamps are basically bi-directional.

P-Clamp:

L- Clamp:

Procedure for Creating the Assembly Context:

• Initially, the product is created that product consist of the Assembly of Geometrical Bundle and the Engine Reference part.
• Also, the reference clamps for the parts are inserted in the Context Assembly.

Procedure for Creating the Geometrical Bundle Assembly:

• The required connectors and the clamps are inserted in the assembly.
• After, that the models are placed in the required position.
• Once the models are placed in the proper place, the assembly is converted into the geometrical Bundle.

Procedure for Creating the Geometrical Bundle Assembly:

• In the geometrical Bundle, the multi Branchables are created.
• By using the bundle definition and then the bundle segment point the bundles in the required places are created.

Procedure for Checking the Bundle Connectivity:

• The Bundle Connectivity is checked using the option called "search" available under the edit option.

Procedure for Creating the Flattening:

• The created geometrical bundle is converted into the Flattened Bundle by using the "Flatten" option available in the "Flattening Harness" workbench.
• Using the flatten the required parameters are created for the flattening assembly.
• After applying the parameters, by using the extract option the geometrical bundle assembly is inserted into the Harness Flattening Assembly.
• Finally, the flattened model is converted into Drawing by using the " Drafting" workbench.

Conclusion:

The Routing is created for the given model by using the different workbenches in CATIA like Part Design, Assembly Design. Electrical Part design, Electrical Harness Assembly, etc.
