Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
OBJECTIVE:-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)
Download connector 3D data from www.te.com
DT06-4S
DT06-6S
DT06-2S
DT06-08SA
Convert the above connectors as Electrical part by following steps.
DT06-2S
DT06-4S
DT06-6S
DT06-08SA
Catalog Creation:
File – New - catalog document - add family - give name - type - select Conductors - save.
geometrical bundle assembly should be converted into electrical assembly to do so switch to electrical harness assembly workbench
select command geometrical bundle then select geometrical bundle assembly on specification tree
MANIPULATION
TRANSLATION OR ROTATION
SNAP
SMART MOVE
MOVING COMPONENTS BY USING COMPASS
Creating Multi-Branching to the connectors to do so
select multibranchable document command-give bundle diameter and bend radius ratio-select route difinition-select connectors
create branching point
select command add branch point inside electrical harness installation workbench then select the bundle on which need to create branching point
select branch definition command to create wire harness bundle between branching point 2 and connector DT06-2S
select route difinition then select branch point 2 and connector dt06-2s as shown below
again repeate the same process to create bundle between branching point 1 and connector dt06-4s as show below and create branching point 3 on this bundle
create bundle between branching point 3 and connector dt06-4s by branch definition command
apply protecting covering on bundles
to create protective covering follow the below mention process
COT_15mm
COT_10mm
to apply protective covering on bundle
select command protective covering - select the bundle - select protective covering from the catalog
make sure protective covering 30mm away from the connectors
final assembly
