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

REPORTS ON THE ROUTING:

• AIM:
  1. To rout wiring harness in "ELECTRICAL HARNESS ASSEMBLY" workbench with the followng given data.
  2. Add protective covering (COT Tube), which I build in the last session.
• INPUT:
  1. Connectors-
     1. DT06-4S
     2. DT06-6S
     3. DT06-2S
     4. DT06-08SA
  2. COT Tube.
• PROCESS:
  1. Download Connector CAD data:
     1st I downloaded the connectors CAD data from www.te.com. After downloading the CAD data I just opened it in CATIA and saved those as a .CATPart.
     
     
  2. Define as an electrical part:
     Then I desined the connectors one by one as a electrical part. In every connector I created the ponts and the axis and I defined the bundle and connector connection points for the connectors one by one.
     
     
     
     
     
     
  3. Adding Multi-Branchable: After defining the connector I created a new product file. After creating I added all the connector and snap to them at the required parameter. After doing that I defined the product file as a Geometrical Bundle. Then I just did the branches.
     
     
     Rout definition for doing the branches....
     After adding the Main branch I created branch points.
     
     After adding the branch points I created the other branches which are from the main branch of the routing.
     
     
  4. COT Tube: After copleteting the branches I did the protection covering for the branches by using the browse CATLOG command.
     From the CATLOG I inserted the COT Tubes.
