PROJECT REPORT

ABSTRACT - Convert the CAD data of electrical equipnment into electrical properties. 1st of all , I download the cad data of component then using CATIA V5 I define geometrical parameters in part design workbench. After that i switch into Electrical part design workbench to define all electrical properties to component.

1) CONNECTOR :- A) Deutsch DT06-08SA

B) Tyco 174357-2 (with Cavity)

A) Connector Deutsch DT06-08SA :-

Feature Tree :-

Steps :-

1. In Part Design Workbench , 1st I defined the some geometrical properties like Point & Axis to cad file of connector.
2. Switch into Electrical Part Design Workbench.
3. Used command "Define Connector" to define 'Single Insert' & '8 Port Connection'.
4. Used command "Define Bundle Connection Point", In which select representation as a normal face of a bundle direction , then select a point & for initial condition again select a normal face.
5. Used command "Define Connector Connection Point" , In which select Representation as a point or face, Cotact as point, Coincidence is Y-axis, and Orientation is X-axis.
6. & last store the connector in connector cataog by using command "Store Device".

B) Tyco 174357-2 (with Cavity) :-

Feature Tree :-

Steps :-

1. In Part Design Workbench , 1st I defined the some geometrical properties like Point & Axis to cad file of connector.
2. Switch into Electrical Part Design Workbench.
3. Used command "Define Connector" to define 'Single Insert' & '3 Port Connection'.
4. Used command "Define Bundle Connection Point", In which select representation as a normal face of a bundle direction , then select a point & for initial condition again select a normal face.
5. Used command "Define Connector Connection Point" , In which select Representation as a point or face, Cotact as point, Coincidence is Y-axis, and Orientation is X-axis.
6. Used command "Define Cavity Connection Point" , In which select Representation as a point , Cotact as locking face, Coincidence is Y-axis, and Orientation is X-axis.
7. & last store the connector in connector cataog by using command "Store Device".

2) MOUNTING CLIP :- Tyco 85229-1

Feature Tree :-

Steps :-

1. In Part Design Workbench , 1st I defined the some geometrical properties like Point on mating area & Axis to cad file of connector clip (x direction towards locking side, y direction towards insertion & z direction towards right or left). & Save it.
2. Switch into Electrical Part Design Workbench.
3. Used command "Define Mounting Equipment" to 'Connector Clip'.
4. Used command "Define Cavity", In which select representation as a Point, Contact as a Mating face, Coincidence is Y-axis, and Orientation is X-axis.
5. & last store the connector in connector cataog by using command "Store Device".

CATALOG CREATION :-

1. Go to FILE select NEW then select CATALOG DOCUMENT and OK.
2. Use command "NEW FAMILY" & put name whatever we want for eg., CATALOG CLIP or CATALOG CONNECTOR and then select type for eg., STANDARD or ELECTRICAL, etc..
3. Go to file and save it in catalog folder.
4. Now if we have to store part in catalog then, Use command "STORE DEVICE" and in popup window, select catalog location and family.
