Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge

NOTE : ALL FILES HAVE BEEN ATTACHED IN THE ZIP FILE

Each of the parts were downloaded from the website and opened in part design workbench to add points and axis systems corresponding to their respective connections as further elaborated below. It was also noted from the information provided from the website that Deutsch DT06 – 08SA is not compatible with Tyco…

FENDERS Fender is the American English term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle or other vehicle body that frames a wheel well. Its primary purpose is to prevent sand, mud, rocks, liquids, and other road spray from being thrown into the air by the rotating tire. When vehicle is moving, tires pick up stones and others…

SECTION MODULUS Definition : Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. The elastic modulus is denoted by "S". Other geometric properties used in design include area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and moment…

UNDERBODY COATING Underbody coating is a thick cladding placed uniformly to the car’s underside. When the automobile is fresh off the lot and spotless, it is usually sprayed or painted on. But it is also acceptable if it is applied after a couple of hears as it can provide additional protection. The coating thickness…

BENCHMARKING Benchmarking in the automotive industry basically means a structured comparison between similiar products, services or processes in some dimensions of performance. It is most beneficial in understanding where a product is lagging or over-achieving for that matter when compared to the standards in that particular…

TOOLING AXIS & DRAFT ANALYSIS After obersing the A surface, due to the presence of flat surfaces, a dummy tooling axis in the y direction was taken. When checked for draft, it did not satisfy the requirements. Then bisecting method was implemented and analysis was carried out. Even that did not suffice. Since it is…

TOOLING AXIS After analysing the class A surface, due to the presence of the large cavity,it was understood that it woud be better to place the tooling axis with reference to the cavity. An axis system was placed in the middle of the cavity and was used to intersect the A surface in 2 mutually perpendicular planes. The…

INTRODUCTION The door trim panel of a car is the interior parts of the door which contains the most controls and decorative parts, the main components of interior door panel of a car consist of the following parts Arm rest Map pocket Upper substrate Door lower substrate METHODOLOGY The procedure followed for creating the…

TOOLING AXIS The Primary Tooling Axis was obtained with the help of the given information…

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…

ELECTRICAL DEFINITION All the individual connectors,channels, clips & clamps were opened in part design. Corresponding points, axis and planes were created. The parts then were opened in electrical part design where they were electrically defined. All the connection points were established and were added to the catalogue.…

BACK DOOR The door or opening of a cargo area that is hinged at the top, side or bottom is called back door. If the door is hinged at the bottom, it is usually called a tailgate. They can be operated manually or automatically. Manual backdoor needs human effort. But it is held in open position using gas stays. Automatic…

ROOF An automobile roof or car top is the portion of an automobile that sits above the passenger compartment, protecting the vehicle occupants from sun, wind, rain, and other external elements.Roof is not just single panel. It consists of Subtypes. Front Roof  Bow Roof Center reinforcement Rear Roof Front roof: Front…

HOOD DESIGN REPORT A Hood is basically the front end of a vehicle that serves a multitude of purposes. Aesthetics, aerodynamic capabilities, providing safety of both the passengers as well as pedestrians and enabling servicability to name a few. Therefore, while designing a hood, it is necessary to take into consieration…

TOOLING AXIS A point was created on the base from which two planes perpendicuar to x and y axes were created. The A surface was then intersected by the plane parallel to the y dierction The two inclined lines were taken and bisected along the first point to create the tooling axis in y direction. Then the lines intersected…

TOOLING AXIS First a point was created on the surface where it would be feasible to get the intersection of critical elements in both direction. An axis system was created at the point and intersections were taken along 2 mutually perpendicular planes. The lines from the intersections were projected and bisected to get…

TOOLING AXIS After taking a close look on the Class A surface, it was understood that the flat surface as well as the holes were lying in the xy plane. Therefore a dummy tooling axis was made perpendicular to it. Then the inclined surfaces were used to project as lines. The tooling axis was made from the bisector of these…
