Project 2

ELECTRICAL DEFINITION

• There were previously defined components added to the catalogues.
• Therefore they were used for routing the backdoor.

COMPONENT PLACEMENT

• I used 7 connectors in total.
• Interconnection connector - 1
• Tail lamp connector- 2
• Plate lamp connector - 2
• Latch connector - 1
• Windshield wiper connector - 1
• All these connectors were positioned tentatively on the backdoor.
• Clamps were also positioned at suitable positions.

ROUTING

• Once all the components were placed, the product file was defined as a geometric bundle in the wiring harness workbench.
• A multi-branchable was also defined.
• Bundle segments, branching points and sub branches were defined.
• Sufficient slack was provided for bundles connecting to connectors.
• Special attention was given to preventing fouling.
• Ample number of clips were provided for connection.
• Poke-Yoke was applied for the plate lamp connectors.
• The minimum distance parameters for branching points and clips were satisfied.
• Protective covering was applied.
• The bundle was checked for full connectivity which was found to be satisfactory.

FLATTENING

• A new product file was created for flattening and was opened in the flattening workbench.
• All flattening parameters were defined.
• Then the harness assembly was extracted and flattened.
• The sub branches positions were altered using the rotate command.

DRAWING

• A new drawing file was created.
• The flattened harness was projected on to the drawing by selecting the view.
• In order to view the bundles, the properties were altered to change the visibility of wireframe.
• The drawing was scaled down to fit the sheet size.
