AUTOMOTIVE WIRING HARNESS PROJECT 2

WIRING HARENESS ROUTING FOR TAIL GATE

PROCEDURES AND STEP FOLLOWED FOR WIRING HARNESS ROUTING

1. Created new product file and named it as “BACK DOOR WIRING HARNESS CONTEXT”.
2. In that product I have opened the CAD file given for the Tail gate.
3. Created another product file inside the wiring harness context assembly file.
4. And named “GEOMETRICAL HARNESS BUNDLE BACKDOOR”
5. I have made ready all the required connector, Clips, Clamps and protective CAD Data.
6. Each components defined electrically by giving respective features.
7. Created catalogue documents for particular groups.
8. After creating the catalogues, added required connectors and clips from the catalogue browser.
9. Using manipulation tool placed all the connectors and clips as required.
10. Now for starting the routing first electrically defined the geometrical bundle assembly file using the command Geometrical Bundle.
11. That leads to create new multi-blanchable part file inside the GEOMETRICAL HARNESS BUNDLE BACKDOOR.
12. Then click on the multi-branchable command led to wiring harness installation work bench from there Using branch definition command started the routing.
13. Given all the required parameters like wire radius, bending radius, slack and route definition.
14. Created Branch points for adding branches on required positions.
15. After well completion of all the connection routing added protective coverings for the wires.

Connectors and Clips used:

Figure a: 12 pole connector

Figure b: 4-pole connector

Figure c: 3-pole connector

Figure d: 2-pole connector

Figure e: Fir Tree clip

In the below figure red marked are connectors and green marked are fir tree clips

Figure f:Positions of connectors and pins

Branch definition is shown in below figure and the parameters like bend radius, diameter of bundle and slack% is given.

Figure g:Branch definition

Route Definition tab is shown in below figure, here the routing is done between the red marked clip and green marked connector.

Figure h:Route Definition

Figure i: Complete routing

Below figure showing the details about adding of protective coverings for the bundle.

Figure k: Completed routing with expanded tree structure

Figure l:Bundle connectivity checking

Figure m:Result " When query is fully connectd" -false

Figure n: Result when query "is fully connected" -True

PROCEDURES AND STEPS FOLLOWED FOR FLATTENING AND DRAWING

1. Created new product and named “Flattening TailGate CableRouting”. Then jumped to electrical harness flattening work bench.
2. Provided Harness Flattening Parameters.
3. Then using extract command, the tail gate flattened routing is created.
4. Using the commands like rotate, quick roll and roll etc. aligned the cables in a good manner.
5. And saved the file
6. Created new drawing document.
7. Added front view of the routing flattened view.
8. BOM table is created.
