Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
Aim:
1) To Route the following harness layout in the Electrical workbench.
2) Add protective covering on all branches connected to DT06-2S & DT06-4S connectors.
Given:
CAD data of the following Connectors:
- DT06-4S
- DT06-6S
- DT06-2S
- DT06-08SA
Connectors Layout Design:
Steps to be followed:
1. Download connector 3D data from www.te.com
- DT06-4S
- DT06-6S
- DT06-2S
- DT06-08SA
2. Convecting the Mechanical part into the Electrical part for that I had followed the following steps.
CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS IN CATIA V5
- DT06-2S:
Connector connection point:
Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction.
Bundle connection point:
Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
Define the part as connector in catia, give no. of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry points for wire.
Define connector connection point
Define Bundle connection point
Tree Structure:
- DT06-4S:
Connector connection point:
Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction.
Bundle connection point:
Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
Define the part as connector in catia, give no. of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry points for wire.

3.ELECTRIC WIRE HARNESS ASSMBLY:
Open a new product file and imported all the defined models into it.
Manipulated and snap all the models into the required positions.
Arranging the Connectors by following the Layout
Made the main branch Bundle between two connector.
Create a Branch point with a distance of 250mm. with that point made a line with help of a point to direction.
Create a Branch point with a distance of 100mm. with that point made a line with help of a point to direction.
Made the Sub-branch Bundle between connector and main branch at 300mm.
Made the Sub-branch Bundle between connector and main branch at 100mm.
Now created Branch point distance of 100mm for sub branch.
Made the another Sub-branch Bundle between sub-branch and connector at 100mm.
All the branches are created.
Made Cot for all sub-branches by maintaining a 30mm distance from the connector side.
Tree Structure:
Conclusion:
Routing the following harness layout in the Electrical workbench have thus been concluded.
