Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
*AIM- Define given connectors & connector clip as an Electrical Connector and add their necessary properties using Electrical Part design workbench in CATIA V5
*OBJECTIVE- Using CATIA V5's electrical part design workbench, this project's main goal is to first download the provided files from Tyco Electricals, then define them as electrical connectors or other equipment, and last give them all the necessary electrical attributes.
These are the steps required to do this project-
Create the required geometrical parameters for connector
- Create a bundle entry point
- If connector accommodates clip then define a geometrical parameter for the clip
- Define part as a connector or mounting equipment
- Create bundle connection point
- Create a connector connection point
- Create a cavity connection point if there is a clip
*CONTENT-
There are two connectors, one with clip attachment feature (TYC0 174357-2) and the other one is without it (Deutsch-DT06-08SA). The third part is the clip (TYCO 85229-1)
