Project-1_WIRING HARNESS ROUTING FOR ENGINE

Wiring Harness Routing On Engine

Engine:

Steps involved;

First of all downloaded all the CAD files needed from the respective sites and saved the CATpart files.
Given the electrical definition for all the connectors, clips, clamps, channels and for the left needed to be defined for the bundle routing.
Created the catalogue document file for different categories.
Added all the equipments to the respective catalogue files.
Created a new product file and named Engine Harness context.
Added the engine to the engine harness context product file.
Added a new product file to the engine harness context.
Named the new product file as "Assm_Geometrical_Harness_Bundle_Engine", Required connectors(Electricaly defined) are added to the new product file (Assm_Geometrical_Harness_Bundle_Engine).
Placed all the connectors to their connection points using manipulation and compass tool.
Also channels are added as required and placed to the convenient position shown in figure below.

Required Clamps and Clips are added to the assembly for mounting the wires and connectors conveniently.
Then first electrically defined the geometrical harness bundle file.
On clicking multi-branchcble-document command a new part file named 'multi-branchable' is added to the "Assm_geometrical_Harness_bundle_engine".
Then started routing using branch definition.
Required slack length and bend radii are provide for the wiring harness routing.

Now the routing is almost done.
Now we have to provide the protective covering for the wires. Insulation tapes and corrugated tubes can be used.
Before that checking wether the bundle segments are fully connected or not. Below figure shown the Bundle status.

figure after adding all the needful protective covering;

Flattening and Drawing Creation

New product file is opened for the flattening.
jump to electrical flattening work bench and set the Harness Flattening parameters.
Then click on the Flatten command and select the bundle to flatten.
Select all branches and set the reference face or plane to flatten respectively.

After Flattened and adjusting the bundles aligned using rotate and roll commands

Drawing Creation:

Created new drawing file
Created the drawing using front view command and selecting the face that used to flatten the routing
View properties are setted.

Saved the drawing file.

All the files are atteched.
