Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
AIM :- Define parts as an Electrical Connector using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties to Connectors & Clip.
INTRODUCTION TO WIRE HARNESS:
DEFINING ELECTRIC PARAMETER FLOW CHART
- CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS IN CATIA V5
1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA
- Connector connection point
Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction as shown below,
Bundle connection point:
Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
Define the part as connector in catia, give no. of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry points for wire.
Define Bundle connection point
Define connector connection point
2.Tyco 174357-2 :
- Create midpoint
- create Connector connection point
- create Connector connection axis system
- create cavity connection point
- create cavity connection axis system
- Switch to Electric part design and define part as connector
- Define Connector connection point and cavity connection point
3. Tyco 85229-1 :
- Create midpoint
- create cavity connection point
- create cavity connection axis system and orientation should be same as in connector
- Switch to Electric part design and define part as Mounting Equipment
- Define cavity connection point
Elctric Assembly Design:
- Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
- Select Defing Eelectric connection
- select cavity and then connector.
