Project 2

Project 2:

• AIM: To Design a Route for the Wiring harness on the Given backdoor and prepare a flattened view drawing in CATIA V5.
• Objective:
• Here, as input, we got the backdoor Part body and had to route the wiring.
• So first, let analysis the electrical connection required component.
• Here we have 6 connectors and mounting equipment required.

1. Creating the context assembly for routing the Backdoor:

• Create the new product file and import the Backdoor CAT file.

2. Defining the electrical components as required:

• Connector connection point:

• It is the point at which the plug and connector mating surfaces are connected.
• To create such a connector connection point, follow the below steps:
• Switch to part design,
• Create a midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
• Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and define the axis direction as shown below,
• Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
• Define the part as the connector in CATIA V5, and give the no. of termination as needed.
• Define connector connection point.

• Bundle connection point:

• The bundle connection point is used to specify the position and the direction of the bundle segment connected to the connector or the equipment.
• To create such a Bundle connection point, follow the below steps:
• Switch to part design,
• Create a midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
• Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
• Since we had already defined the component as a connector.
• so, Define the Bundle connection point.

• C-1563689-1:

Defining the four-pole terminal connector electrically.

• 12-pole connector:

• 3-pole connector:

• P-clamp:

3. Placement of Connector, Clamp, Channel, and Route of the Bundle:

• After Defining the component as electrical, let's place those electric components as per the location provided in the backdoor.
• To place those components we can use,

1. Manipulation tool
2. Snap Tool
3. Smart Move Tool
4. Compass
5. others Tool

• Now after placing the electric component at the location.
• Let's Start Bundle Routing.
• After Routing the bundle, provide the Cot-Tubes over the Bundle.

4. Checking the bundle Continuity. Adding the snap of results in the submission:

• Go to edit menu
• Select the Search option and in that select the advance option
• set the following option

1. electrical
2. bundle segment
3. fully connected
4. provide condition (true/false)
5. After providing a constraint select the highlight option.

5. Flattening and 2-D drawing:

• After completing Routing and providing the Cot tube to it.
• Let's flatten the bundle.
• STEPS FOR FLATTENING THE ASSEMBLY:
• open the existing assembly which should be flattened.
• After opening the file create the new product file.
• Rename it first and save the file in the exact location where the existing assembly was saved.
• Switch to electrical flattening assembly.
• Set the flattening parameters.

• After setting the parameters, select the extract tool to extract the existing assembly.
• Once it's extracted, go to flatten tools.
• select the plane in which respect we have to flatten the assembly.
• With the Rotate tool's help, arrange the assembly representation.
• Hence the assembly gets flattened.

• CREATING 2D DRAWING:
• After flattening the assembly, create a new drawing.
• select the front view tool and select the view from the flattening assembly
• As there might be some mismatched will be there.

1. Check the parameters of the flattening workbench,

2. right click on the 2d drawing and enable the 3d wireframe and make it always visible.

• After applying the setting, we got our desired drawing on the sheet.
