Challenge

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

OBJECTIVE:

Defining all the necessary properties to connectors and clip using all options.

REQUIREMENTS:

Knowledge of CATIA V5 software.

Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

PROCEDURE

Download the parts with given website.
Open them in CATIA V5 software.
Save the opened file as CATPAT file.
Now change the current file to part design under mechanical workbench.
Create Midpoints on contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
Create Axis Point on the point.

Make sure the Y-Axis lies on connecting direction, X-Axis on either left or right and Z-Axis perpendicular to them.
Do the same Mid point step to other face of the component.
Now open the file in part design under electrical workbench.
Define the part as connector in catia, give no. of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry points for wire.
Define connector connection point.
