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

Downloaded all files from drive link and saved. Opened Siemens NX12 and created an assembly file with child parts as Backdoor Outer panel upper Backdoor Lower panel lower Backdoor Inner Panel Hinge reinforcement LH Hinge reinforcement RH Modified surface A with joining them using Trim sheet, offset in face and sew. 1.…

Created a new part file for section modulus calculations and imported in main assembly. Using WAVE geometry linker, all inner and outer panel serfaces imported in this assembly. Created a datum plane at center of outer panel with 50% arc radius and created intersection curve for all surfaces. Modified the sketch to closed…

Roof assembly Created a main assembly file and created all files mentioned below. Using Mirror and Thicken command, all geometries are designed. Outer roof Design 1) Imported class A file into this file. Using Extract and trim command, surface quality is improved. Using master sections, Created flanges with 7 degree draft…

Downloaded all relevant data from google drive link for fender design. Refering to given skin data, the flanges given are already given in required angle and inclination(3 Degree). So I used them for creating mounting embosses and A piller mounting. Improved the surface by eliminating sharp corners and created law extension…

Downloaded all required files and opened in CATIA V5. Created a geometrical set for wheel arc calculations. Created a center point of wheel outermost circle and placed XY plane at same point. Taking the refrance of the plane, created a sketch and drawn a horizontal line for datum. Isolated wheel arc diameter and fender…

All required files of connector, fir tree clip are downloaded from TE Connectivity. Connector Defination Downloaded 4p and 12p connectors for assembly and interconnection. Created geometry for electrical parameters like points, axis system at bundle connection, connector connection and cavity connection area.   …

Downloaded all required data from given links. Converted and saved at desired location in CATIA V5. Connector DefinationAll connectors with given specification defined as electrical components. Bundle and connector connection points are given to each connector as well as cavity connection also defined. Protective Covering…

Hood outer panel: Created flange for hood outer panel, blended at optimum radius and hemming done from given data. Hood inner panel: Created offset from given outer panel surface, designed as per requirement and provided well embossment for hinge and striker and mirrored geometry. Used edge, face blends and brodge curves…

Underbody coating provides long term protection from corrosion to car’s underbody. It also protects parts like internal body panels, frame rails and other inner cavities that are not physically accessible but are prone to corrosion. Benefits• Minimizes Sound: It minimizes the sound from underneath the car…

Benchmarking: Benchmarking is a process of evolving our product in various parameters and falling under economical condition of customer by comparing the market product at corrosponding range. The process involves continuously assessing the quality of goods or services against standards of best-practice, often as…

Flattening parameters are defined as per requirement. Selected the extract command and picked up Week 4 harness for flattening. Selected flatten command and flattened the assembly. Used roll, rotate for adjusting the bundles for better representation. Opened a new drawing worbench. Taken the front view of same flattened…

Downloaded all connectors from te.com. All connectors defined electrically.     Every connector has been supposed to axis system and points for defining connector and bundle connection points as shown in above images. Now all connectors are inserted and positioned in product file. Final product defined as Geometrical bundle…

All connectors are downloaded from drive link and saved as per requirement. Connector are defined as electrical devices and their respective connector connection and bundle connection points. 1. Harness A  Connector 6,7,8,9,10 inserted in harness A. Set into position and orientation using compass and manupulation. Product…

P Clamp Downloaded the cad file and opened. In part design, defined necessary geometry as shown in figure. Then selected the command 'Define support part' to define clamp as support. In this window defined all points and planes as entry, exit and base plane. Defined them again for another side for same plane and points…

Deutsch DT06 – 08SA  This is a male connector with 8 terminations and locking feature. In CATIA, we have to define it as an eletrical connector by creating points and axis systems as shown in figure. As we procedding connector parameters, the electrical properties and publication gets updated. Then we defined…

Final Product Part 1: Garnishing Draft analysis Part 2: Map pocket draft analysis Part 3: Arm rest draft analysis Part 4: Lower substrate draft analysis Weight of component
