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

Q1. Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Use Following connectors as shown in layout diagram.

Ans:- Harness bundle routed according to the image shown above with connectors listed below:-

• DT06-8SA
• DT06-6S
• DT06-4S
• DT06-2S

To route the bundle first we need to open all the connectors or clips & clamps, then place them the way we like to route the bundle as in this case main truck is having a length of 550mm and sub branches are 100 to 150mm long as shown in the image above.

Then we need to select the option MULTI BRANCHABLE DOCUMENT then dialogue box shwon below opens

In this give the branch diameter then add bending ratio which should be 1.5 times the dia of branch then add slack which is nothing but percentage of extra length added to the bundle.

Now to route it between two connectors open route defination then one dialouge box will open as shown below:-

In this dialogue box we need to select the parts through which we need to pass the bundle.
