Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
Aim:
- To 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)

- After Defining the electrical properties save all the connectors in catalogue


- Add the all connectors which are electricaly defined to the Geomteric bundle assembly.
- Navigate to Electrical Harness Assembly and determine geometric bundle to the assembly.

Position the connectors as per the given Diagram:

Create the wire harness bundle segments:
- Click on Branch defination and then click on route definition and select connectors in between we want to create branch.

select protective covering then select branch - select catalog - select approprite slit cot tubes - give extrimity at start and end (30mm) :
