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

Backdoor Design Backdoor is an important component of the vehicle. Besides acting as a door, it functions other purposes like, it have the glass which is required for the visibility, contain the rear lambs for many vehicles etc. So while designing the backdoor, a lot of things have to be taken into considerations like…

Roof Design The Roof design has been developed from the provided input surface and the master section provided.   Roof Outer The flanges are developed for the Roof Outer Draft Analysis:- Draft Analysis is done with y-axis as the tooling Direction. Seperate tooling axis is created for the flange in the rear side of…

Fender Design Fender is an important part of the vehicle that protects the important components of the vehicle from debris , water etc. being kicked up by the rotating wheel. It is located above the wheel. In case of minor collisions or impacts, fenders are designed to absorb and distribute some of the energy, reducing…

Section Modulus : Section modulus is the ratio of area moment of inertia about the neutral axis to the length from the neutral axis to the outer most fibre. The section modulus is a geometric property of a cross-sectional shape that relates to its ability to resist bending. Components like body panels, frames, and…

AIM : To design the Hood inner panel and outer panel folllowing the master section and the input surface provided. Car is a protective covering that is positioned in front of a vehicle. It is a hinged panel that covers and protects the engine area. The major function of the automobile hood is to protect the engine, electrical…

Protective Covering Creation A new CatalogueDocument is created. Two families of PVC Tapes(Conduit type), and Cotton Tapes are defined. Tapes of required dimensions and different colours are created in the electrical part design workbench and are added to the respective family of the catalogue. Electrically defining the…

Catalogue Creation A new CatalogueDocument is created. Two families of COT Tubes(Conduit type), and connectors(electrical type) are defined. Electrically defining the connectors The connectors are downloaded from the provided link and is opened in the Catia V5 software. Referance points and axis system are created which…

Catalogue Creation A new CatalogueDocument is created. Two families of COT Tubes(Conduit type), and connectors(electrical type) are defined. The COT tubes of required dimensions are created in the electrical part design workbench and are added to the COT family of the catalogue. Electrically defining the connectors The…

Catalogue Creation A new CatalogueDocument file is created in the catia. In the catalogue, a family of 'Support' and family of 'Back shell', defined as electrical type are created.Also a family named 'Slit COT' to store COT tubes, defined as conduit type is also created. And the file is saved in the folder. Q1. P clamp…

Catalogue Creation A new CatalogueDocument file is created in the catia. In the catalogue, a family of connectors and family of mounting clips, defined as electrical type are created. And the file is saved in the folder. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA  The .igs file is downloaded from the link and opened in CATIA V5. The…

PROJECT : Developing the door trim with the Class A and Master sections given as input.   A product file is created and the Input file is opened and the parts are seperated out into different part files. Tooling Axis Creation and Class A Draft Analysis Arm Rest : Considering the whole surface, and conducting the visual…

First, all the parts are created using the part workbench. Reference elements are also created and published. A new CAT product file is created and a part is created as a skeleton to take reference planes and origin as reference. Then all the created part files are opened in the assembly workbench.  Then the skeleton part…

Tooling Axis and class A surface draft analysis. Tooling axis can be created with the help of the mastersection curves given in the input. Two of the vertical lines in the master section of the dog house is extracted. A bisecting line is created bisecting the above extrcted two lines. This line can be used as dummy tooling…

Class A Draft analysis First the tooling axis is to be defined. The flat surface in the part is considered first. A point is defined in the center of the surface. The line passing through the point in x direction is constructed.  Using the above selected tooling axis, the draft analysis of class A surface is performed.…

By interpreting the class A surface visually, we can see a projections and slots we can select the Y direction as the tooling axis. By draft analysis, most of the class A surface satisfy a draft angle greater than 3 digrees, exept for some small areas which are unavoidable. So I proceed with the tooling axis.  So class…

TOOLING AXIS AND CLASS A DRAFT ANALYSIS First a dummy tooling axis is created passing through the point in the plane surface, in y direction. While doing the draft analysis, some of the surfaces are below the nominal draft angle which is 3 digrees. So a plane is created in x direction, and passing through the areas where…

Tooling axis First considering the direction of the holes on the class a surface, the z axis is selected as the tooling direction. The axis is supposed to pass through the point at the centre of the base surface of the class A surface. Then the intersect of the class A surface and zy plane is taken. From that the bisecting…

Class A Draft analysis First the tooling axis is to be defined. The flat surface in the part is considered first. A point is defined in the center of the surface. The line passing through the point in x direction is constructed.  Using the above selected tooling axis, the draft analysis of class A surface is performed.…

Class A Draft analysis First the tooling axis is to be defined. The hole for the head lamp in the part is considered first. A point is defined in the center of the hole. The line passing through the point in x direction is constructed.  Using the above selected tooling axis, the draft analysis of class A surface is…

Class A Draft analysis First considering the direction of the cavity and plane surface on the class A surface, the z axis is selected as the tooling direction. The axis is supposed to pass through the point at the centre of the base surface of the class A surface. A line is constructed in z axis passing through this point.…

Class A Draft analysis First considering the direction of the holes on the class a surface, the z axis is selected as the tooling direction. The axis is supposed to pass through the point at the centre of the base surface of the class A surface. Then the intersect of the class A surface and zy plane is taken. From that…

Class A Draft analysis  First considering the direction of the holes on the class a surface, the z axis is selected as the tooling direction. The axis passing through the centre of the hole, in the almost middle of the class A surface is selected as the dummy tooling axis. Then the intersect of the class A surface…
