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

Objective :

The objective of this project is to Convert the mechanical part as an electrical connector and apply the electrical properties to the Connectors.

Procedure :

• Initially, the mechanical model of the required connectors is downloaded.
• After that, the downloaded source file (Stp/Igs) is converted into CAT Part.
• Connector Definition :

1) Create/Download Connector 3D

2) Create required Geometrical Parameters

• In the third step the required reference points like Bundling entry point, Connector connection point, and Cavity connection point.
• Also, the required axis system for the Connector and Cavity is created.

3) Define part as Connector

• The parts are defined as connectors by using the "define connector" option in CATIA
• While defining the connector, depending on the connector number of the terminal are mentioned.

4) Define “Bundle connection point”

• The following parameters are defined for the "Bundle Connection Point"

5) Define “ connector connection point”

• The following parameters are defined for the "connector connection point"

6) Define “ cavity connection point ”

• The following parameters are defined for the "cavity connection point"
• The cavity connection point is an optional one. For some components, we will use a cavity depending on the requirement.
