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

To define the following connectors and clips as electrical using electrical part design workbench 

1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA ( https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-DT06-08SA.html)
2. Tyco 174357-2 (https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-2-174357-2.html?source=header-match)
3. Tyco 85229-1 – (https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-85229-1.html?q=85229&source=header)
   
   Software used:
   Catia v5
   
   wiring harness assembly structure 
   create / download connector 3d
   create required geometrical parameters
   define part as the connector
   define bundle connection
   define connection point 
   define cavity connection point 
   
   
   DEUTSCH DT06 :
   
   CREATE A MIDPOINT ON THE CONTACT FACE WHICH WILL BE NORMAL FOR WIRE BUNDLE INSERTION
   
   
   CREATE AN AXIS SYSTEM IN THE MID-POINT
   
   Z AXIS SHOULD BE POINTING ACROSS THE CONNECTOR FROM LEFT TO RIGHT 
   Y-AXIS SHOULD BE POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT FACE OF THE CONNECTOR 
   X-AXIS SHOULD BE POINTING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE CLIP  
   
   CREATE THE BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT
   BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT IS CREATED IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR 
    

 NOW WE HAVE TO SWITCH TO THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN 
NOW DEFINE THE PARTS AS CONNECTOR IN CATIA , AND SPECIFY THE NO OF TERMINALS 

 DEFINE BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT IN ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH 


DEFINE CONNECTOR CONNECTION POINT 


NOW WE HAVE DEFINED THE MODEL AS AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR 


2)TYCO174357-2

CREATE MIDPOINT
CREATE CONNECTOR CONNECTION POINT 
CREATE CONNECTOR CONNECTION AXIS SYSTEM
CREATE CAVITY CONNECTION POINT 
CREATE CAVITY CONNECTION SYSTEM
SWITCH TO THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN AND DEFINE THE PART AS A 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 CONNECTION 
SWITCH TO ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN AND DEFINE PART AS MOUNTING EQUIPMENT 
DEFINE IT AS CAVITY 






ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY DESIGN 
IMPORT CONNECTOR AND CAVITY  MOUNTING CLIP 
SELECT DEFINE ELECTRIC CONNECTION 
SELECT CAVITY AND THEN CONNECTOR

CONCLUSION : SO WE HAVE DEFINED THE ELECTRICAL PARTS AND DEFINED ITS NECESSARY PROPERTIES
