A. WHAT IS HARNESS ROUTING ?

                                Harness routing is basically shows that path of wiring harness into the vehicle.It is represent of the layout of the wiring harness as vehicle in geometrical way 3D .

B. WHAT IS HARNESS PACKAGING ?

                            It is involves that desicion of Harness mounting in routing management.Also deals with clearence management,Aesthetic management,thermal management,Manafacturability (Like , clip clamp,guiding channel)

  • The assemble area clearence , like connector & support clamps fixing length & Angle dimensions are as per techanical terms ,when will complete the assemble process then start for routing process.First change the electrical Harness assembley workbench and ensure thet you have your harness geometrical bundle id highlighted.select icon on electrical Harness assembley and  pick on product :Assy_Wiring Harness Back Door .next we have select the Muiti branch option creat and add the another sub product in Assy_Wiring Harness Back Door .The sub product name is  Geometrical Bundle 1 - Multi Branchable 1 then select  the branch definition window  box input all required values like :name : Branchable .1 , Daimeter : 15 mm (this is main trunk branch routing diameter )and We have additional sub branches are routing in this challange.they are 10mm Dia & 5mm Dia. Section: 1:13Ie-004m2 (its automatically created),Bend radius : 14mm,Bend radius ratio : 1.4 and  mode : slack ,I have the routing the cable in Required clearence so i give slake valve for 2mm,5mm,8mm,10mm,15mm
  •  
  • We are  routing branch  definitely should maintained the branch to branch distance - 50mm Minimum and the Branch to connector distance 50 mm Minimum.
  •  After the input values click on Routing Definition Option, Select one end connector Bundle connectivity point side and change or ensure bundle direction by using reverse tangent option and ensure the Add After option are highlighted , select the  p clamp entry side the cable have routed successfully next pick on p clamp entry side and through Furr Tree Clip then go to pick another connector  bundle connector point side after full main trunk routing is complete add  branch point option .select this option open on the window select refernce point give length valve from referance point for clearence purpose say.The brance point will be created as per required clearence .then same process is  doing on the create branch routing.
  •  Finally Carrougted tube is most importent think on the cable routing process.complete the wiring harness extie the multi branch option pick on define protection option in before select rougting cable .After the click the option the cataloge document window will be open and select which type of size we want and say the corrugated tube have applyed on the roughting cable.We have choose for Size : 20mm , 10mm, 15mm Like that .

4.PREPARE THE FLATTENING. 

  • Open the new product give the name of Like: Assy_Wiring Harness Back Door and change the work bench in Electrical Harness Flattening,Before entry the flattening Workbench we have change some settings,they are Start - Electrical & Equipment - Electrical Harness Decipline  - Electrical Wiring harness Flattening open the window click new formOption and say ok.Then go to the Assembly Work bench Change the settings ,they are TOOLS- OPTION-Open the Harness Flattening Parameter window - click Genreal and pick the required option and say ok then save .
  •  Creat the flattening workbench select the wiring_Harness Flattening Parameter option and select the required parameters like:For bundle segment - Single line ,For Device - 2D Detailes and say ok the  commend will join the geometrical tree structure.next pick on page option and select the wiring harness assembly the assembly will copy and past the flattening work bench and click the update .then we have choose the flattening option,select the connector face and select the all branches and say ok then the Wiring harness assembly would be flattening.Next we have choose the rotation command and select the wiring branch give angle Size : 45 Deg and ok the branch would be changed.The scaling option is also doing in the flattening click the scale command and pick on some one routing branch and give the length value Like : 150mm and ok the wiring harness routing length would be modified.Finally we have doing on Synchronize.sychronize is if any protection covering fix on wiring Harness assembly at same time we want flattening Assembly also covered.Select the sychronize option and show the window then all option are there in the window if we have dont change on the option and say ok.Finally the Carroughted tube also covered in the Flattening Assembly.

5.PREPARE THE FLATTENING DRAWING LAYOUT.( DRAWING WORK BENCH ):

  •  Drawing Work bench is open when i  Click the File - new - Drawing,then the drawing work bench will be open. before some setting will be change like :For bundle segment - Single line ,For Device - 3D Projection and say ok.Now pick front view option and select the Assembly wiring Harness Work bench and pick on drawing workbench only the component have visiable the routing did not visiable.so right click - properties- open the window - pick view  Select Always 3d wireframe and select is always visiable then the wiring harness routing also visiable. next we have go to pick the dimension tools and create the wiring harness branch cutting length dimensions ,branch rotation angle etc.If we want to change color for connector and  carroughted tube select and others select the color option and change.
  •  Next we have prepare the table for Title Block ,BOM (Bill of Material) ,Wire Cut List ,Connector List,Connector View for Drawing A0 LAYOUT.Like Title Block location is right side bottom,BOM is right side ,Wire cut List - right side Top ,Connector List is Top center, Notes - Left side bottom.
