Project 1
AIM:
- To design and develop the Wire Harness Routing for the given V16 Engine by following the design and packaging rules.
OBJECTIVE:
- To define all the connectors electrically and save it in the Catalogue.
- To place all the connectors and cavities at the required position.
- To place P Clamps and Fir Tree clips at the required position by following the packaging rules.
- To create the Wire Harness Routing as per required and create branch points wherever required and also by following the packaging rules.
- To create the Wire Harness Flattening of the above routing.
- To display the flattened view in the drawing sheet.
PROCDURE
- Add all the connectors to the Geometric Bundle product file and place them using the 'Smart Move' or 'Manipulation Tool' command and the compass into their desired location.
PLACEMENT OF THE L-CLIP AND THE INTERCONNECTING CONNECTOR
ROUTING FOR THE FUEL INJECTORS:
- To route the wire for the fuel injectors we need to provide a channel so that the wire bundle can be safely routed inside the channel and the wires will not get damaged due to the high temperature.
- And also, the wire bundle can be packaged with proper orientation inside it.
- The channel should be added to the Geometric Bundle part as it will be a part of the Geometric Bundle.
- Also, the channel should be electrically defined for different bundle connection point.
- An external curve can be used for routing the wire inside the channel to make it easier for the wire routing.

WIRE HARNESS FLATTENING:
REPRESENTATION OF THE FLATTENED WIRE IN THE DRAWING SHEET:
CONCLUSION:
- From the above project we learnt how to route wire harness on a V16 Engine.
- We also learnt about different packaging rules that must be kept in mind during wire routing.
- We also learnt how to flatten the wire and represent it in the drawing sheet.
- After finalizing the wire routing, we can request the corresponding Engine design team to provide additional holes for the mounting of Fir tree clips.
