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

Q1. Download following connectors & Connector clip cad data from given link & define it as Electrical Connector using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties to Connectors & Clip.

for the given parts first we have to download the given connectors from the given link to assemble as a Electrical part assembly in catia

Geometry Parameters:- Points and co-ordination system (axis system).

We can work on part design in this workbench we define point defination then click on point definaion command.

we use this defination can finding the exact center point of the connector.In this selection process we choose two points then find the exact mid point .We create both sides of the connector.

Axis System Defination used to define the co-ordinates system .we can select the origin exact the mid point.

X-axis should be pointing in the direction towards the locking mechanismof the clip.

Y-axis should be pointing towards the front face of the connector.

Z-axis should be pointing across the connector from left to right.

Next we jump into Electrical Part Design workbench can we define to connector defination. Then click on the command it shows from the below fig.Here asking type we can enter single insert connector,part number taken default and last number of terminals we can enter 8 in this part design we can see and observe its a 8 therminals are there

Next we go for Bundle Connection Point Defination click on this command the window will be display as shown in the below fig .Here asking some properties for define the bundle connection point..

Connector Connection Point this point is used for connection of one connector to another connector.Then we click on this command the below window will be display here asking some important properties.Representaion we can select the axis origin, contact can select the normal to the face,coincidence we can select the always y axis , orientation can select the always x axis direction

2) For Tyco 174357-2 we download the connector

for this connector we can follow the Deutsch DT06 – 08SA steps but for this connector we have to choose the cavity connection point for assemble the connector and the clip in upcoming models

3) Tyco 85229-1) we can download the given connector and

we define the point defination and create a point.

Next we go to Axis System Defination icon then define the coordinates on axis system

Select the Cavity Defination icon from the workbench this similar to connector connection point only change the icon then click ok and save.

Create new product file then copy those two 3d models and past it on newly created product file and we can select the axis to get connected as assembly

Next we change the workbench in start menu click here Equipment & system here sub option are there we can select the Electrical Harness discipline next we go for Electrical Assembly Design.Then the workbench is changed.Here connect electric device icon is displayed then click on this command then can assemble the two parts click on save

Assembled part
