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

CHALLENGE 1

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.

THE ORIENTATION OF THE AXIS SYSTEM IS NOT SPECIFIC, WE JUST NEED TO FOLLOW A SIMILAR ORIENTATION FOR ALL THE PARTS. 

HERE THE Y-AXIS IS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONNECTION, Z-AXIS ALONG WITH THE CLIP MOUNTING AND X-AXIS ALONG BOTTOM TO TOP.

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.

THE CLIP HAS TO BE DEFINED AS A CAVITY IN THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.
