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

WIRING HARNESS: A wire harness is an exterior sheath that is used to protect certain types of electronic wires. Wiring harnesses are typically made of thermoplastic or thermoset materials, which help protect the cables from the environment. A Backdoor wiring harness is a bundle of wires, cables, terminals, and connectors…

CONNECTORS: Wire harnesses are connected to power sources or circuits using connectors, which are electromechanical devices that create a continuous electronic signal. Male-ended plugs and female-ended jacks are the fundamental components of connectors and can be joined together to transmit an electronic signal. They are…

 1. BACKSHELL Connector backshells are necessary add-ons that are threaded onto the back of a circular or rectangular connector shell to increase support, protection, and to give the connector a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Due to the wide variety of connector rear end design types, nut/bolt appearances,…

BACKDOOR: A backdoor is a part of a vehicle that opens and closes on hinges. The vehicle's back doors, which are located next to the passenger seat and provide access to the luggage compartment, are one type of door. These back doors are operated with the assistance of a gas stay in most automobiles, reducing the effort…

ROOF: The part of a car that is located above the passenger area and shields the occupants from the sun, wind, rain, and other environmental factors is known as the car top or roof. The roof is the structure that is located above the wind-shield glass and has reinforcements to strengthen the whole building and withstand…

FENDER: The fender, is an aesthetic and structural component that frames the wheel on a car. Sand, dirt, rock, and other debris from rotating tires are kept from harming pedestrians by the fender's main function of preventing this from happening. In a car's body, there are two different types of fenders:  TYPES: FULL…

FENDER WHEEL ARCH: The wheel arch is the semicircular portion of the fender that sits over the car's wheel. The wheel arch of the fender should be constructed in such a way as to screen the wheels and shelter both the passenger compartment and pedestrians from flying water, dirt, and stones. To prevent debris or stones,…

SECTION MODULUS: A geometric characteristic for a specific cross-section that is employed in the design of beams or flexural members is called section modulus. It establishes the beams' strength, which is determined by the cross-sectional area of the beam. Although the extreme tensile or compressive fibres in a bending…

CAR HOOD: The fundamental functionality of the car hood is to safeguard the parts under it, for instance, the motor. Without this security, little stones kicked up by different cars could penetrate a liquid compartment or harm the motor. Moreover, most motors shouldn't be presented with an abundance of water. It makes…

UNDERBODY COATING: Underbody Coating is a sprayable coating, which safeguards the undersurface of the vehicle from degradation. Underbody coating gives long-haul assurance from erosion to the vehicle's underbody. It additionally safeguards parts like inward body boards, outline rails, and other internal depressions that…

AUTOMOTIVE BENCHMARKING : Benchmarking is the process of comparing the features and specifications of similar products which helps to point out the differences between them and helps to deduce to a final conclusion. Benchmarking gives a clear understanding of the products and points out the pros and cons between them. …

REPORT : CLASS A SURFACE: Taken from the given Class A inputs. Surfaces with errors are corrected wherever required. CLASS B SURFACE: Offset for 2.5mm from Class A surface. Holes, empty patches, and defects are fixed. CLASS C SURFACE: Created by using the Sweep and multisection commands with a draft angle of…

REPORT: QUICK RETURN MECHANISM : The first step was to create the five components: cross frame, support stand, slider, arm, and pin. These five individual components were created in the part design. They were created from the given measurements. After these 5 individual components were created, a new assembly workbench…

. REPORT :  The tooling axis is created for the draft analysis by using the bisecting line tool method. Four lines were extracted from the master sections and two points were created from two diagonal lines. The bisecting of these two points gave us a line. This line is referred to as the main tooling axis. This tooling…

  REPORT: The tooling axis created for the draft analysis was done by using the line tool's point-to-direction. A point on the Class A surface is taken and extended it to a direction, perpendicular to the surface. This line is referred to as the main tooling axis. This method was satisfactory for the draft analysis…

This line is referred to ask the main tooling axis. This method was satisfactory for the draft analysis hence the bisecting method is…

  REPORT: The draft analysis was done by creating a tooling axis. The Tooling Axis was created by creating a line perpendicular to a flat surface present on the door handle, which was adequate for the analysis. The Tooling axis created was suitable and was able to clear the draft angle at the necessary places. The…

  REPORT: The tooling axis is created by creating a point on the center of the base of the switch bezel and then a dummy tooling axis is made by creating a line perpendicular towards the Z direction. Then an intersecting line is created at 6deg from the side walls of the switch bezel. Then using the Bisecting line…

  REPORT: The Tooling Axis was created for the Draft Analysis as shown above. The Tooling Axis was created by creating a line perpendicular to a flat surface at the bottom, which was adequate for the analysis. The Tooling axis was suitable and was able to clear the draft angle at the necessary places. The Tooling…

  REPORT: Before constructing the tooling axis, the walls of the component are examined. On examination, the side walls of the component are perpendicular to the base at 90deg. Since the walls are at 90deg to the base, the Tooling Axis is constructed by creating a line normal to the base. A point is created on the…

  REPORT: DRAFT ANALYSIS: The drafting analysis is done and a minimal draft angle of 3deg is provided. The drafting angle is provided at the two sides on the class c surface. The draft is created along the Main tooling axis direction. TOOLING AXIS CREATION : The tooling axis is created by taking a point in this case…
