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

1. DEUTSCH DT06 - 08SA:

2. DT06-6S:

3. DT06-4S:

4. DT06-2S:

Now Create the Electric wire harness context assembly and Geometric bundle as a subassembly containing all the electric parameters as shown below,

Add the all connectors which are electricaly defined to the Geomteric bundle assembly.

Then define this Geomteric bundle assembly as electricaly, for that we need to switch to Electric harness assembly workbench.

select Geometric Bundle then click on Geomteric bundle assembly (In specification Tree)

Now, to position all the connector as given in input file,

Create enviroment on which the bundle assembly will be placed.

Draw the sketch as given dimension in input just for referance purpose.

Switch to Mechanical assembly workbench, Position the connectors by using Manipulation, snap, smart move and compass commands.

Now switch to Electric harness assembly workbench

select multi branchable documents

Now created the multi branchable documents

Then click on route defination

select connectors in between we want to create branch.

TO add branch point

select the branch then give ratio or dimension for the point

Now to create protective covering on all branches

switch to electrical harness assembly

select protective covering then select branch - select catalog - select approprite slit cot tubes - give extrimity at start and end - ok
