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

Objective: To define given Connectors as Electrical Connectors and Create a Catalogue using given connectors in Catia v5.

Definition Of Electrical Connectors:

Following parameters are required to define for any connector.

Geometry Parameters: points and axis.

Connector connection points: This point is used for the connection of one connector to another connector.

Harness Bundle entry point: The point defines where the harness bundle segment point will be end when routed to the electrical connection.

Cavity connection point (Optional): This point is used to define the connection of a connector to a connection clip. This is only applicable to the connectors which have mounting feature for a connector clip.
