Engine Wire Harnessing

Objective:- To route the wire harnessing for engine, create flattening model & create drawing for given routing.

Description:-

Step 1:Electrically define the connectors, P clamp & Guiding component.

Connectors:

Steps involved in electrically defining a connector

• Download a connector from TE / Tyco website igs or stp format.
• Unzip the connector in destination folder.
• Save as CAT part in the folder
• Rename geometrical set as Reference element
• Define reference elements such as bundle connection point, connector connection point, cavity connection point by taking the between option in the point command with middle option.
• Bundle Connection Point.
• Cavity connection Point
• Define the axis of the connector connection point & Bundle Connection Point. The Y-axis should be normal to the face, x in the horizontal direction to the base plane & Z is vetical to the base plane as per the connection provided to the mating part for the smooth electrical connection.
• Enter into electical part design workbench & define a connector with the given number of Terminals.
• Bundle Connection point definition
• Cavity connection Point Definition

 P-Clamp Definition:

• Take a plane at the centre of circle parallele to the vertical direction on both sides.
• Then take a plane at the base.
• In the electrical part design define it as as support'
• Define entry & exit from both the sides for easy electrical connection.

Guiding Channel Definition:

• Take the two points in the centre of the two ends of the channel.
• Then draw a line connecting those two points.

• Create the centre point at every bundle entry channel.
• Define as mounting suppport to the channel.
• Define the bundle entry point at channel start point & every entry point.

Step 2: Create a context assembly which will be helpful to contain reference parts along with the geometrical bundle assembly.

Step 2: add engine product in the context assembly.

Step 3: Create engine harness geometrical bundle assembly.

Step 4: Position connectors using the manipulation, smart move  & Compass on the sockets given in the engine.

Step 5: Add the L-Clamp for the interconnector.

Step 6: Routing the wiring according to the connections

Step 7: Application of COT tubes wherever required according to the bundle diameter for protecting wiring from hot components such as engine parts.

Step 8: Check the continuity among the routing.

Step 9: Flattening model:

• Create a new Product
• Define the Flattening parameters
• Extract geometrical bundle.
• Use the flattening option.
• Rotate or manipulate the components along the required plane.

Step 10: Create a Drawing product & create a drawing. 

Conclusion: In this way I have completed all wiring harness, flattening & drawing for the given wiring harness of a engine.
