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

1)

        

• THE CONNECTOR IS FIRST UPLOADED IN THE PART DESIGN WORKBENCH 
• WE DEFINE THE POINTS FOR CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION.
• THE AXIS SYSTEMS ARE PLACED ON THE CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND CAVITY CONNECTION POINTS
• THE ORIENTATION OF THE AXIS SYSTEM IS NOT SPECIFIC, WE NEED TO FOLLOW A SIMILAR ORIENTATION FOR ALL THE PARTS. 
• HERE THE Y-AXIS IS IN THE CONNECTION, THE Z-AXIS IS ALONG WITH THE CLIP MOUNTING, AND THE X-AXIS ALONG BOTTOM TO TOP.
  
• NOW WE DEFINE THIS PART AS AN ELECTRICAL ELEMENT/CONNECTOR, WITH A NUMBER OF TERMINALS. 
• CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION ARE DEFINED IN THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.

2) THE SAME PROCESS WAS FOLLOWED FOR THE SECOND CONNECTOR. HERE WE NEED TO INCLUDE THE CONNECTOR-CAVITY CONNECTION POINT. THIS IS DONE TO FIX THE CLIP ONTO THE CONNECTOR.

THE CLIP HAS TO BE DEFINED AS A CAVITY IN THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.
