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

STEP-1:

Completely define the geometrical and electrical parameters of all connectors in the electrical part design workbench in CATIA V5.

DT06-08SA

DT06-6S

DT06-4S

DT06-2S

Above picture shows all the connectors which are geometrically and electrically defined.

STEP-2:

Then we create a product file in assembly design and name it as "geomrtrical bundle assembly" in which we add all the connectors which are electrically defined,after adding all the connectors we convert mechanical assembly design into electrical assembly by using "Geometrical Bundle" command.

Above picture shows that the Geometrical bundle assembly which is electrically defined.

STEP-3:

Orient and locate all the connectors approximately in the required location in assembly workbench.

STEP-4:

Creating Bundle segments and branching points between the connectors.

First create bundle segment between the connectors DT06-8S and DT06-6S.Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 20mm.

Then create the branch points and add the segments to join the two DT06-connectors.Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 15mm. and brnach diameter an 10 mm.

the branches will be created using the bundle branch point.

Similarly create another branch point and add the segments to join the two DT06-2S connectors.Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 15mm.

STEP-5:

Add protective coverings on the required segments for harness bundle.

the protective covering on the harness bundle segment connected to DT06-8S and DT06-6S contains 3 splited bundle in order to 15 mm and 20 mm and 15 mm respectively.

the protective covering on the harness bundle segment connected to DT06-4S.

Here corrogated tube diameter kept as 15mm as the diagram end extremity is at 30mm away from the bundle entry point.

and branch diameter of corrogated tube diameter kept as 10mm as the diagram end extremity is at 30mm away from the bundle entry point.

the protective covering on the harness bundle segment connected to DT06-2S.

bothe branch of the corrogated tube diameter kept as 15mm as the diagram end extremity is at 30mm away from the bundle entry point.

final hardness routing of the given set of connectors and the diagram is

CONCLUTION:

the given all the connectors are to be electrically defined successfully and the wirehardness routing will be done in the diagram shown length. finally all the branches will be routed and corrogated tubes are to be provided in the required diameter.
