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

Answer:

The given Connector are first downloaded from the TE.com, the following connectors are

And This connector are opened in the Catia V5 where we need to define them in Electrical

DT06-2S

WorkBench: Part Design

First we need to create 2 points on the ends
And on the connector connection side we need to create a Axis which will be usefull for the connector connection point

WorkBench: Electical Part Design

In this workbench we need to define the component as a Connector
And on the connector connection point is defined as well as bundle connection point
Save the part

DT-06-4S

WorkBench: Part Design

First we need to create 2 points on the ends
And on the connector connection side we need to create a Axis which will be usefull for the connector connection point

WorkBench: Electical Part Design

In this workbench we need to define the component as a Connector
And on the connector connection point is defined as well as bundle connection point
Save the part

DT-06-6S

WorkBench: Part Design

First we need to create 2 points on the ends
And on the connector connection side we need to create a Axis which will be usefull for the connector connection point

WorkBench: Electical Part Design

In this workbench we need to define the component as a Connector
And on the connector connection point is defined as well as bundle connection point

First we need to create 2 points on the ends
And on the connector connection side we need to create a Axis which will be usefull for the connector connection point

WorkBench: Electical Part Design

In this workbench we need to define the component as a Connector
And on the connector connection point is defined as well as bundle connection point
Save the part

WorkBench : Part Design

This workbench is used to create the dimensions of the various connectors which are to be placed

Go to the Sketcher option
select the yz plane and draw the following lines as per the dimensions mentioned in the question
Save the part

After defining all the 4 components as electrical we need to follow this steps

Create a new Product and define it as the context file
Create one more product within the context file and name it as Geometrical bundle
Now copy all the 4 components in this file and also the part file where is drawing is available
Now assembly the connectors to the desired locations

Now we need to switch to new workbench which is the Electrical Harness Installation

Workbench : Electrical Harness Installation

Select the Geometrical bundle and select the Geometrical bundle product, now the product is Geometrical defined
By using the Multi-branchable option we can start connecting the connectors
By using the Route Defination option we can route all the connectors
By using the Add branch Point option we can create a point so that we can connect the other 2 connectors of DT-06-4s and also the DT-06-2s
Now we need to add the corragated tubes on the following 4 connectors
from the catalague where we have saved various corragated tubes we can use them
The end extremity is considered as 30mm from the connector
