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

Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

• We need to specify the part using define connector in the electrical part design workbench and need to specify number of terminals, which is for this connector is 8
• Now we need to specify connector connecting point and bundle connecting point using Define connector connection point and bundle connection point in the electrical connection definition point workbench.
• For that we need to create a point in each connector connection side and bundle connecgtion side which is somewhere near to the middle of the connection.
• For connector connecting side we need to insert an axis system and the pattern of insertion should be followed in the connector also.

• The process is same as that above but in this we need to define an extra point and an axis system for the cavity to come and mount properly.
• As in the third picture the cavity mounting part is defined after inserting an axis system and defined it using the Define cavity connection point.

• The cavity must be defined as a mounting equipment from the electrical device definition workbench
• Then it should be defined as a cavity from the electrical connection definition point workbench.
• Cavity also should be marked in the same way as the cavity connecction point is defined.
• The point on the cavity must be slected in such a way that the point selected on the connecter must coincide.
