Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS
1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA
- Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
- Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction as shown below
- 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.
- Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
- Define the part as connector in catia, give no. of termination as 3 because we have 3 entry points for wire.
Define Bundle connection point:
Define Connector connection point:
Define 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.
Electric Assembly Design:
- Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
- Select Defining electric connection.
- select cavity and then connector.
Conclusion:
All the parts are defined electrically through the standard process and assembled.
