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

STEPS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT FOLLOWING DESIGNS:

• Downloaded following connectors & Connector clip cad data from given link.
• following parts defined as electrical connector.
• we have followed the following procedure to make assembly design.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS:

Geometry parameters:

• Points & Co-ordinate system(axis)

Connector connection point:

• this point is used for the connection of one connector to another connector.

Bundle connection point:

• this point defines where the harness bundle segment point will end when routed to the electrical connector.

Cavity connection point:

• this point is used to define the connection of connector to a connector clip.
• this parameter in catia only applied to the connector clip.

CONNECTOR NUMBERING SYSTEM:

1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

• Connector connection point

• Bundle connection point

• switched to 'Electric part design' define the part as connector in CATIA.
• in following fig. we have given number of termination as 8 because there are 8 entry points for wire.

• Bundle connection point

2.Tyco 174357-2

STEPS TAKEN:

1.found midpoint.

2.created connector connection point.

1. contact - Face
2. coincide - Y axis
3. orientation - X axis

3.created connector connection axis system.

4.created cavity connection point.

5.created cavity connection axis point.

6. switched to electric part design and defined part as connector

3. Tyco 85229-1

STEPS TAKEN:

1. created midpoint
2. created cavity connection point
3. created cavity connection axis system similar as we created for connector 2.
4. switched to electric part design and defined part as cavity part.
5. created cavity connection point

ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY DESIGN:

STEPS TAKEN:

1. we have imported 2, connector and 3. cavity in electrical assembly design window.
2. meshed two parts with the help of connect two parts command.
3. parts meshed with each other by selection of matching axis system of two parts.

• FINAL ASSEMBLY DESIGN
