Challenge

Project 2

Objective:

To route the Wiring harness on the given car body and Prepare flatten view drawing in CATIA V5.

Process:

Defining the cad files:

Open the igs files and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.
Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.
Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.
We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.
Now we can switch to electric part design.
Select the command bundle connection point.
Enter the number of terminals required.
Now we can define the support parts.

Harness assembly:

Number plate light routing:

Open a new product file.
Select the parent part and copy, and paste all the connectors we have defined.
Now we can open the electrical harness design workbench.
Now align all the connectors and support parts on the car body.
Now we can select branch definition.
We can route the bundle segments from the main connector to all the p clamps.
For the main bundle segment, the diameter is 7mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
Now we can start routing the sub-branches with a diameter of 7mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
After routing the car body, click on ctrl+f.
Click on advance and select electrical, bundle segment, and fully connected.
Now click on false to check for any non-connected bundle segments.
We can also hide the points, planes, and axis system before flattening.

Tail light routing:

Open a new product file:

Select the parent part and copy, and paste all the connectors we have defined.
Now we can open the electrical harness design workbench.
Now align all the connectors and support parts on the car body.
Now we can select branch definition.
We can route the bundle segments from the main connector to all the p clamps.
For the main bundle segment, the diameter is 7mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
Now we can start routing the sub-branches with a diameter of 7mm, and the bend radius is 1.5.
After routing the car body, click on ctrl+f.
Click on advance and select electrical, bundle segment, and fully connected.
Now click on false to check for any non-connected bundle segments.
We can also hide the points, planes, and axis system before flattening.

Flattening:

Drawing:

Open a new drawing file.
Click on the front view option.
Now open the flatten assembly and select the face we have selected for flattening.
Right-click on the red box around the drawing.
Now enable the 3D wireframe option and is always visible option.
Select the text option and name all the parts.
To insert the Bill of materials, click on insert-Generate-Bill of material.
We can also save the drawing in pdf format.

Result:

We have routed the Wiring harness on the given car body and Prepared fldten view drawing in CATIA V5.
