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

                                                 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.

To 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

• Connectors Convecting the Mechanical part into the Electrical part for that I had followed the following steps.

DEFINING CONNECTORS:

• DT06-4S

• DT06-6S

• DT06-2S

• DT06-08SA

 

These all connectors are defined electrically, added in the these connectors in Connectors catalogue for easily adding assembly horness assembly routing design.

Corrugated Tubes for Protective Covering of Harness:

• Cot_15mm:

• Cot_13mm:

 

These Corrugated tubes are using for protective coverings for Harness safety, these Cot_tubes are added in the COT Tubes catalogue for easily harness assembly routing and easily assmbling harness.

ELECTRIC WIRE HARNESS ASSMBLY:

• Electrical harness aseembled as per given distance and parameters.
• Geometrical Bundle assembly is completed.
• All components are placed at desired locations.
• All connectors are defined electrically and required parameters for Harness routing.
• Created the multibrachable documentation, in the brach definition box added all the required parameters.
• Mentioned that the bend radius ratio is set t0 1.5 diameter.
• Build mode is set to slack required positions definied.
• Protective coverings defined require diameter mother than the brach diameter of wire route.

CONCLUSION:

Hence, finally Routed the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Made assumptions for harness bundle diameters. Used above Following connectors as shown in challenge layout diagram.

 Added required protective covering on all branches connected to DT06-2S & DT06-4S connectors. Kept end extremity at 30mm (from connectors end).
