Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
1.DT06-4S
- The 3D model is downloaded from the given link and saved as a Catpart file.
- The bundle entry Point is created at the rear part of the connector.
- The connector Point is created at the mating side of the connector.
- The connector axis is created with respect to Connector Point.
- The component is defined as the connector using "Define Connector" tab in the "Electrical Part Workbench". The number of terminals is defined.
- The bundle connection point is defined using "Bundle Connection Point Definition" tab in the "Electrical Part Workbench". The parameters are defined appropriately.
- The connector connection point is defined using "Connector Connection Point Definition" tab in the "Electrical Part Workbench". The parameters are defined appropriately

- Open a new product file.
- Renamed it to
- Now add one new product file into the
- Now open the Geometrical_Bundle product file into the new window. Browse catalogue and add the DT06-2S, DT06-4S. DT06-6S, DT06-08SA connector part files in it.
- Now one reference pad part file is created for positioning the connectors accordingly and added this part file into
- And also created one reference sketch for aligning the connectors at desired location for creating the bundles between the connectors.
- This reference sketch part file is added into the
- Now copy the DT06-2S connector file and DT06-4S connector file and paste it into the Geometrical_Bundle
- Saved these files in device and close.
- Now switch to assembly design workbench and positioned the connectors at the desired location by using the reference pad with the help of commands such as manipulate, translate or rotate and snap.
- And now the connector directions are aligned in a way with the base of reference sketch.
- Now switch to electrical harness assembly workbench.
- Select the geometrical bundle command and select the Assy_Geometrical_Bundle in model tree to define electrically.
- Now select multi-branchable document command to create the bundles between the connectors.
- After selecting the multi-branchable document, a window popup and we need to select the bundle diameter and slack percentage (if needed) and select the route definition to select the connectors.
- Now select the DT06-08SA and DT06-6S connectors. Now the bundle is created between the connectors.
- Select the add branch point command to create the branch point between the created bundle and select the bundle and enter the length 100mm to create the branch point at 100mm from the DT006-08SA connector.
- Now again select the add branch point command and select the bundle which is connected with the DT06-6S connector and enter the length of 250mm to create the branch point at 250mm from the DT06-6S connector.
- Now select the branch definition command and select the bundle which we already created and now the window popup and enter the bundle diameter and slack percentage if needed and select the route definition to select the connectors.
- Now select the bundle and select the DT06-2S connector, now the branch is created between the bundle and DT06-2S connector.
- And did the same process for creating the branch for one more DT06-2S connector.
- Now select the branch definition command and enter the diameter and slack percentage if needed and select the route definition and select the bundle which is connected with the DT06-08SA connector and select the DT06-4S connector, now the branch is created between them.
- Then select the add branch point command and select the branch which is connected between the DT06-08SA and DT06-6S and enter the length of 150mm to create the branch at that distance.
- Now select the branch definition command and select the bundle which is connected DT06-4S connector and select the another DT06-4S connector to form the branch between them.
- Finally, the wiring harness assembly routing is created
