• The connector is first uploaded in the part design workbench
• We define the points for connector connection and bundle connection.
• The axis systems are placed on the connector connection and cavity connection points
• Create Axis System with respect to the point y-axis is in the direction of the connection, z-axis pointing across the connector and x-axis pointing towards the direction of mounting clip.
• Now we define this part as an electrical element/connector, with the number of terminals.
• Connector connection and bundle connection is defined in the electrical part design workbench.
• The same process was followed for the second connector. Here we need to include the connector-cavity connection point. This is done to fix the clip on to the connector.
