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

AIM:

• To define Electrical properties of the given components.

OBJECTIVE:

• To download the above CAD data of the parts from the given source.
• To define the Electrical properties correctly.
• To create catalogues of the components so that it can be used later.

SOLUTION METHODOLGY:

CATALOGUE DOCUMENT:

First a new 'catalogue document' is created and then add family is selected in order to add the group to the catalogue document.

• The name of the family is given as the 'connectors' and the catalogue document is saved in the desired folder.
• After defining the electrical properties, the components are saved in the catalogues so that it can be used in the feature without again defining the electrical properties.

• PART - 1: DEUTSCH DT06 - 08SA:

Step - 1:

• To identify the Connector Side and the Bundle Side.

CONNECTOR SIDE:

BUNDLE SIDE:

Step - 2:

• To create a mid-point on the bundle side in the Part Workbench to define the Bundle connection properties.

Step - 3:

• To create a mid-point at the Connector side in the Part Workbench.
• To create an axis system through the point.
• Define the axis as:
  • X- axis - Towards the locking side
  • Y- Axis - Normal to the connector face

Step - 4:

• Go to the Electrical Part Design Workbench to define the Connector connection point and Bundle connection point.

Step - 5:

• First define the Connector and the number of Termination.
• Then define the Connector Connection Point.
• And then define the Bundle Connection Point.

CONCLUSION:

• From the above assignment we learnt how to define a connector and a cavity and how to define different electrical properties.
• We also learnt how to create a catalogue document and how to save the components in the catalogue document so that it can be used later.
