Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
Aim:-
- Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Use Following connectors as shown in layout diagram.
- Add protective covering on all branches connected to DT06-2S & DT06-4S connectors. Keep end extremity at 30mm (from connectors end)

- DT06-4S
- DT06-6S
- DT06-2S
- DT06-08SA
Routing Procedure:-
DT06-08SA:
- Giving the necessary parameters to define it as connector.
- Define it as electrical connector with 8 terminations.
- Define the connector connection point at axis side to mate with another part.
- Defining bundle connection point for wire entry.
DT06-2S:-
- Giving the necessary parameters to define it as connector.
- Define it as electrical connector with 8 terminations.
- Define the connector connection point at axis side to mate with another part.
- Defining bundle connection point for wire entry.
DT06-4S:-
- Giving the necessary parameters to define it as connector.
- Define it as electrical connector with 8 terminations.
- Define the connector connection point at axis side to mate with another part.
- Defining bundle connection point for wire entry.
DT06-6S:-
- Giving the necessary parameters to define it as connector.
- Define it as electrical connector with 8 terminations.
- Define the connector connection point at axis side to mate with another part.
- Defining bundle connection point for wire entry.
- Add every connectors to the Mechanical Assembly Workbench and place the connectors according to the given reference routing. Then measure the distance whether it matches with the reference image. Move connectors accordingly to get the desired value for the given length for routing.
- Use Multi-Branchable Document to route between the connectors.
- Break the routing using the Add Branch Point to make branches from the jumper connection.
- Then route the branch points with the connectors.
- This is after routing between all connectors.
Adding Corrugated Tubes:-
- Add the corrugated tube with the diameter greater than the wire diameter for the proper routing.
- Then give end extrimity as 30mm from the connector.
- Final routing after giving all the connection and protections.
