Project 1
WIRING HARNESS ROUTING FOR V16 ENGINE.
- WE HAVE GIVEN WITH A V16 ENGINE PART FILE IN WHICH WE HAVE DESIGN WIRING HARNESS ROUTING.
- AND ALSO NEED TO CREATE FLATENNING OF THE SAME WITH 2D DRAWING REPRESENTATION.
1. WHAT IS V16 ENGINE.
- A V16 engine is a sixteen-cylinder piston engine where two banks of eight cylinders are arranged in a V confirugation around a common crankshaft.
- V16 engines are less common than engines with fewer cylinders, such as V8 and V12 engines.
- The first use of a V16 engine was in the 1910 Antoinette VIII experimental aircraft, followed by several cars in the 1930s. Today, the most common applications for V16 engines are railroad locomotives, marine craft, and stationary power generators.
APPLICATIONS :
- AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS (PRODUCTION CARS , PROTOTYPE CARS , RACING CARS).
- MARINE & RAIL APPLICATIONS.
- AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS.
- WIRING HARNESS ROUTING FOR V16 ENGINE.
- I DOWNLOADED THIS V16 PART FILE AN OPENED IT IN CATIA V5 , WE WERE ALSO PROVIDED WITH FEW CONNECTORS OF DIFFRENT TYPES , SUPPORT PARTS LIKE P CLAMPS , FREE TREE CLIPS
AND CHANNEL BODY.
- WHEN I STUDIED THIS ENGINE CAD PART I FOUND IT CONTAINS FEW SENSORS LOCATION WERE WE NEED TO PLACE OUR CONNECTORS.
- AND WE WILL HAVE ONE MAIN CONNECTOR FROM WHICH WE CREATE OUR MAIN BRANCH AND FROM THAT BRANCH WE WILL ROUTE HARNESS TO THE DIFFRENT.
- SO IN THIS V16 ENGINE WE HAVE TWO SIDES RIGHT & LEFT , WE CAN SEE WE HAVE 8 INJECTORS SENSORS ON BOTH SIDE TOTAL 16.
- THAN WE GAVE 4 CAM SHAFT SENSORS , 2 EACH SIDE.
- ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1.
- ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 , 1 EACH SIDE.
- TRANSMISSION POSITION SENSOR 1.
- VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR 1.
SELECTING THE CONNECTORS & OTHER SUPPORT PARTS.
- SO WE WILL 1 MAIN CONNECTOR FROM WERE THE WHOLE ROUTING WILL BE DIVEDED.
- SO I HAVE THIS CONNECTOR , WHICH I HAVE SELECTED FOR THE MAIN CONNECTOR.
- IT IS 12 POLE CONNECTOR , I HAVE DEFINED IT ELECTRICALLY.
- AND ALSO ENSURE TO PROVIDE CONNECTOR CONNECTION POINT & BUNDLE ENTRY POINT.
- AND WE NEED ONLY 1 AMOUNT OF THIS CONNECTOR.
- AFTER THIS I HAVE THIS CONNECTOR (C-1563689-1).
- I HAVE DEFINED THIS AS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
- I HAVE USED THIS CONNECTOR FOR INJECTORS SENSOR.
- WE NEED TO HAVE 16 CONNECTORS OF THIS TYPE , 8 EACH SIDE.
- I HAVE THIS 2 POLE CONNECTOR.
- I HAVE DEFINED IT AS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR , GIVEN BUNDLE ENTRY POINT.
- I HAVE USED THIS CONNECTOR FOR ENGINE COOLANT , ENGINE OIL TEMP. , TRANSMISSION POSITION & VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR.
- SO WE NEED 5 CONNECTORS OF THIS TYPE.
- THAN I HAVE C-DT06-08SA CONNECTOR.
- I HAVE DEFINE THIS AS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.
- I HAVE USED THIS CONNECTOR FOR CAM SHAFT SENSOR.
- WE NEED TO HAVE 4 CONNECTOR OF THIS TYPE , 2 EACH SIDE.
- AFTER THE CONNECTORS WE NEED TO HAVE THE SUPPORT PARTS & CLIPS AS PER REQUIRED.
- SO I HAVE P CLAMPS , FIR TREE CLIPS ETC.
- SO I OPEN THEM IN CATIA & DEFINED THEM AS A SUPPORT BY PROVIDING POINTS & PLANES.
- WE HAVE ALSO HAVE L CLIP WHICH WE CAN USE AS A MECHANICAL SUPPORT.
- AND ALSO HAVE THE ABOVE SUPPORT CLIP TO MOUNT WITH THE MAIN CONNECTOR.
- WE WILL HAVE 2 CHANNEL BOTTOM RIGHT & LEFT.
- SO WE NEED TO DEFINE THEM AS PER REQUIREMENT.
- THE AMONT OF P CLAMPS & FIR TREE DEPENDS UPON US WE CAN USE IT AS PER OUR THINKING & REQUIREMENT.
- SO NOW I HAVE ALL THE CONNECTORS & SUPPORT PARTS DEFINED , ENGINE PART AS WELL.
- NOW WE CAN START WIRING HARNESS , I HAVE CREATED A NEW PRODUCT FILE WHICH WILL CONTEXT ASSEMBLY.
- I WHICH ADDED TWO SUB PRODUCT FILE ENGINE SURFACE PRODUCT & WIRING HARNESS GEOMETRICAL PRODUCT.
- AFTER THIS I PLACED ALL THE CONNECTORS & SUPPORT PARTS AS PER DESIRED POSITION.
- I HAVE PLACED THE MAIN CONNECTOR IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE HARNESS ROUTING WILL BE SMOOTH & UNIFORM AS THE TRANSMISSION BOX.
- THE CHANNEL BOTTOM IS PLACED NEAR TO THE SIDE BODY OF ENGINE SO IT WILL BE EASY TO ROUTE THE HARNESS FROM THERE TO THE CONNECTOR.
- AT THE BOTTOM SIDE WE HAVE OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR / CONNECTOR SO I PROVIED TWO FIR TREE CLIP IN THAT POSITION TO ROUTE THE HARNESS TILL THE CONNECTOR. (FOR BOTH THE SIDE)
- AFTER THIS I PLACE A FIR TREE CLIP NEAR THE CAM SHAFT SENSORS / CONNECTORS TO ROUTE THE HARNESS FROM MAIN BRANCH TO THE CHANNEL. (SAME FOR OTHER SIDE ALSO).
- NOW WE CAN START ROUTING THE WIRING HARNESS.
- FIRST I DEFINED IT AS GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE & STARTED BRANCH DEFINATION.
- IN THE ABOVE IMAGE YOU CAN SEE HARNESS ROUTING
- AFTER THIS I DONE ANALYSIS FOR THE CONNECTION , TO CHECK THE BUNDLE CONNECTION.
- AND I HAVE GOT BELOW RESULTS.
- I HAVE PROVIDED PROTECTIVE COVERING TO HARNESS AS PER REQUIRED WITH END EXTREMITY OF 30MM.
- SO THE BUNDLE ARE FULLY CONNECTED & THE CONNECTION WAS ALSO CORRECT.
- NOW WE START FLATTENING PROCESS , SO I CREATED A NEW PRODUCT FILE & DEFINED THE FLATTENING PARAMETERS.
- AND THAN EXTRACTED THE GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE AND APPLY FLATTEN TO IT.
- I HAVE GOT THE FLATTENING OF HARNESS.
- I ADJUSTED & ROTATED IT AS PER REQUIREMENTS.
- AFTER THIS WE NEED CREATE DRAWING FOR THE WIRING HARNESS ROUTING , SO CREATED A DRAWING FILE.
- AND USED THIS VIEW AS FRONT VIEW FOR MY DRAWING.
