Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge

Objective:

To route the harness layout in the Electrical workbench using the connectors,

•DT06-4S

• DT06-6S

.DT06-2S

• DT06-08SA

Add protective covering on all branches connected to DT06-2S & DT06-4S connectors and keep the end extremity at 30mm.

Process:

DT06-4S:

• Open the DT06-4S igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.

• Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.

. Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.

• We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.

• Now we can switch to electric part design.

• Select the command bundle connection point.

Enter the number of terminals as 4.

DT06-6S:

• Open the DT06-4S igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.

• Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition. 

• Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing toward the face of the connector.

• We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.Now we can switch to electric part design.

• Select the command bundle connection point.

• Enter the number of terminals as 6.

DT06-2S:

Opon the DT06-25 igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between. Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.

•  Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards the face of the connector.

     • We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.

• Now we can switch to electric part design.

     • Select the command bundle connection point.

     • Enter the number of terminals as 2.

DT06-08SA:

• Open the DT06-08SA igs file and create a midpoint on the face using point type as between.

• Now we can create an axis system to the point we have created by using the command axis system definition.

• Make sure the x-axis is pointing towards the locking mechanism of the clip and the y-axis is pointing towards  the face of the connector.

• We can create a midpoint on the entry using point type as between.

• Now we can switch to electric part design.

• Select the command bundle connection point. Enter the number of terminals as 8.

Harness assembly:

• Now we can open the electrical harness design workbench.

• Select the parent part and copy, and paste all the connectors we have defined.

•Now using line command in the assembly design.

• We assign the lines in the required dimensions.

• After creating the lines we can use the snap command to snap the connectors on the lines.

• Now we can select branch definition. We can select the branch and enter the dimensions.

• Now click on the protective covering command and set the end extremity value as 30mm.

Result:

We have routed the harness layout in the Electrical workbench using the connectors,

     • DT06-4S

     • DT06-6S

     • DT06-2S

• DT06-08SA
