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

CREAT MECHANICAL CONNECTOR ELECTRICALY STORE IN CATALOGUE:

Download the connector in TE.COM then cad file save on electrical part design work bench to get modified on identify the what is connector connectivity point and bundle connectivity point. then crete define Connector , Connecter connectivity point and buldel connectivity point with the help of point and axis. after complete process then go to pick store device option and save the connector catalogue file.

1. c-dt06-08sa-b-3d:

So we have to choose the connector is c-dt06-08sa-b-3d and Identify the connecter connectivity and bundle connectivity.Then we have been creat the point and axis in mounting direction by using part work bench.like y axis direction is coinsidence ,x axis is orientation and z axis is side facing.

Select on define connector option and enter the type - single insert connector , Number of terminition - 4 and say ok. next pick on connector connectivity point and give requied detailes like ,representing point - Point , Contact - Face , y - direction - coinsidence , X - direction Is oriendation and say ok , at same time we have been open on Bundle connection point give the representation side - face ,point ,Initial condition - face and say ok.

2.c-dt06-6s-a-3d :

Next start the connector is c-dt06-6s-a-3d and Identify the connecter connectivity and bundle connectivity.Then we have been creat the point and axis in mounting direction by using part work bench.like y axis direction is coinsidence ,x axis is orientation and z axis is side facing.

Pick on define connector option and enter the type - single insert connector , Number of terminition - 3 and say ok. next pick on connector connectivity point and give requied detailes like ,representing point - Point , Contact - Face , y - direction - coinsidence , X - direction Is oriendation and say ok , at same time we have been open on Bundle connection point give the representation side - face ,point ,Initial condition - face and say ok.

3.c-dt06-4s-a-3d:

Downlode the Connector on TE.COM ,c-dt06-4s-a-3d: and Identify the connecter connectivity and bundle connectivity.Then we have been creat the point and axis in mounting direction by using part work bench.like y axis direction is coinsidence ,x axis is orientation and z axis is side facing.

Select define connector option and enter ,type - single insert connector , Number of terminition - 2 and say ok. next pick on connector connectivity point and give requied detailes like ,representing point - Point , Contact - Face , y - direction - coinsidence , X - direction Is oriendation and say ok , at same time we have been open on Bundle connection point give the representation side - face ,point ,Initial condition - face and say ok.

4.c-dt06-2s-a-3d :

Downlode the Connector on TE.COM ,c-dt06-2s-a-3d and Identify the connecter connectivity and bundle connectivity.Then we have been creat the point and axis in mounting direction by using part work bench.like y axis direction is coinsidence ,x axis is orientation and z axis is side facing.

Select define connector option and enter ,type - single insert connector , Number of terminition - 2 and say ok. next pick on connector connectivity point and give requied detailes like ,representing point - Point , Contact - Face , y - direction - coinsidence , X - direction Is oriendation and say ok , at same time we have been open on Bundle connection point give the representation side - face ,point ,Initial condition - face and say ok.

P CLAMP:

Download the cadfile for P clamp in TE.COM ans open the file in CATIA V5 Part workbench .Then Open the file first identify the what are Entry point ,Exit Point and base in clamp component.How to identify the Entry exit and base are clamp.Cable routing entry side is entry point of the clamp , Cable exit side exit point of the component,then inbetween of the entry and exit sides at same time the cable bottom will touch on clamp that side is base point or plane of clamp.

And the we have choose on Point & plane tools its create the point & plane on the entry,exit & base side.Select the piont option , create the point in middle of the entry side .next create point on middle of the exit side.then select plane tool creat the plane in entry side center of the pont by use offset from plane method.The same process doing on the extit side also .finally base plane create the base side on calmp

After completing the point and plane creation go change on workbench is electrical part design.select on define support part tool and pick on the p clamp .open the window give the some details like first point & plane , second plane ,base plane and say ok . next again pick on option give detailes for first point and plane ,second plane is here in default then base plane and say ok, the component have ready for electrical wiring harness assembly work bench.finally save on new catalogue by using storage device option.

CATAOLOGUE DOCUMENT CREATION:

Then part will be add on storage device .if you add family first we want catalogue document.so create the catalogue document by using File - new - click catalogue document option open the window click on Add family option open on small window . thwe window ask for name - CONNECTOR and select which type we want to save ex : ELECTRICAL , then say ok. next pick add part familly option open window default name and type -ELECTRICALthen say ok .

finally open the electrical part design work bench select device storage tool click on add familly go to folder location ,pick on catalogue document file and say ok.next come to storage device window select family CONNECTOR and say ok the part will have been saved on catalogue document.

How to Assemble and Routing the wiring harness :

Next we have decide the Assemble and routing the cable with support clamps for the all . connectors .So open the Product file and change the assembly design work bench ,give the name of Assembly_wiring_Harness_Context.then creat suproduct by using right click component option, name of Assy_Geometrical_Bundle.

Open the Assy_Geometrical_Bundle product right clickSelect the Product 2.1 object pick on New window Option.next we want another sub product we have doing same process,give the product name for Electrical_Bundle _Circuit.

So start the Assble process go to pick on Assy_Geometrical_Bundle product option select new component option go to the location select and open on all required connectors , clamps and metal board also.then Assemble for the all connectors and p clamps are top on metal boarde by using assemble option like ,ex ( manupulation,rotation,snap & compas command ).

The assemble area ,length and dimension are as per layout.when will complete the assemble process then start for routing process.First change the electrical Harness assembley workbench and ensure thet you have your harness geometrical bundle id highlighted.select icon on electrical Harness assembley and pick on product .next we have select the Muiti branch document icon open the branch definition window box input all required values like :name : Branchable .1 , Daimeter : 15 mm (this is main trunk branch routing diameter )and We have additional 4 branches are routing in this challange.they are 10mm Dia & 5mm Dia.Section: 1:13Ie-004m2 (its automatically created),Bend radius : 14mm,Bend radius ratio : 1.4 and mode :slack

After the input valves click on Routing Definition Option Select one end connector Bundle connectivity point side and change or ensure bundle direction by using reverse tangent option and ensure the Add After option are highlighted , select the p clamp entry side the cable have routed successfully next pick on p clamp entry side then go to pick another connector bundle connector point side after full main trunk routing is complete add branch point option .select this option open on the window select refernce point give lingth valve from referance point say ok the brance point will be created. our branch point length was : 100mm length ,150mm,250mm like this .then same process is doing on the create branch routing.

Finally Carrougted tube is most importent think on the cable routing process.complete the wiring harness extie the multi branch option pick on define protection option in before select rougting cable .After the click the option the cataloge document window will be open and select which type of size we want and say the corrugated tube have applyed on the roughting cable.We have choose for Size : 20mm , 10mm, 15mm Like that .
