Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
Objective :
To define connectors & Connector clip cad as Electrical connectors using Electrical Part design Workbench.
1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA :
Process:
- Open the Deutsch DT06 – 08SA igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.
- Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.
- Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.
- We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.
- Now we can switch to electric part design.
- Select the command bundle connection point.
- Enter the number of terminals as 8.
Result:
The Deutsch DT06 – 08SA is defined as an Electrical connector using an Electrical Part design Workbench.
2. Tyco 174357-2 :
Process:
- Open the Tyco 174357-2 igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.
- Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.
- Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.
- We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.
- Now we can switch to electric part design.
- Select the command bundle connection point.
- Enter the number of terminals as 3.
- Now we can create a cavity connection point.
Result:
The Tyco 174357-2 is defined as an Electrical connector using an Electrical Part design Workbench.
3. Tyco 85229-1 :
Process:
- Open the Tyco 85229-1 igs file and create a midpoint using point type as between.
- We can create a cavity connection point.
- Now we can create a cavity connection axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.
- Now we can switch to electric part design.
- Define the part as mounting equipment.
- Select the command to define cavity connection point.
Result:
The Tyco 85229-1 is defined as a mounting clip using an Electrical Part design Workbench.
Electric assembly design:
Process:
- Open electric assembly design.
- Copy Tyco 174357-2 connector and Tyco 85229-1 mounting clip.
- Select defining electrical connection and cavity command.
Result:
The electric assembly design of Tyco 174357-2 connector and Tyco 85229-1 mounting clip is created.
