Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
Harness Assembly
It is product which contains geometrical bundle & electrical bundle which have electrical circuit information.For making the harness assembly we have follow the some step as follow:-
Step 1:-
Inserting the components:-
First we have to insert in the geometrical bundle and define it as the electrical compoments before the routing the harness and then added to the assembely. Here we have the connectors only as follow:-
- DT06-4S


- DT06-6S


- DT06-2S


- DT06-08SA:-
In the same way for this also define

After the define the connector add to the catalog of that we have make foe the connector.
Step 2:-
positioning electrical parts:-
We have to must place the each electrical part into its correct position within yours geometrical bundle product.here we use some functions to define or to move the part at its position as follow:-
1.Manipulation
2.Translation or Rotation
3.Snap
4.Smart move
5.Moving components using the compass
here we have to position the connector at given position.

Step 3:-
Creating the wire harness bundle segments:-
1. switch the electrical harness assembly workbench.
2. Our geometrical bundle is define or highlight as the electrical part.
3. Select the multibrancble/ degine branch document icon.
4. In branch definition / put the box input all required parameters.
5. Ensure the bend radius ratio and check box is on.
6. Build mode is set to slack.
for this assembly we have one main branch we use the 10mm dia. and bend ratio is same for all the branch is 1.4 define in it.


for the sub branch we use the 5mm dia. before it we have define the or add the branch point in it where sub branch is start.


For other sub branch

In the same way we have to define the other two sub branch.


In this way our segment bundle is form.

Step 4:-
Add Protective covering :-
we have to add the corrugated tubes to protect the wiring harness. By given we have to Keep end extremity at 30mm (from connectors end).
For main branch we add the corrugated tubes as 15mm dia.


For the sub-branch we use corrugated tube dia as 10mm.


In this way all branch add with the coverings.

After all this we make/define the Route the harness layout in Electrical workbench.
