Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this project is to route the harness layout in electrical work bench
Above picture shows the 2D schematic layout of the required harness.The follwing Deutsch connectors aer used in this harness.
The follwing Deutsch connectors are used in this harness.
DTO6-4S(QTY-2)
DTO6-6S(QTY-1)
DTO6-2S(QTY-2)
DTO6-8S(QTY-1)
STEP-1
Completely define the geometrical and electrical parameters of all connectors in the electrical part design in CATIA V5.
DTO6-2S(QTY-2)
DTO6-4S(QTY-2)
DTO6-6S(QTY-1)
DTO6-8SA(QTY-1)
Above picture shows all the electrical all the connectors which are geometrically and electrically defined.
STEP-2
Then we create a product file in assebly design and name it as "geometrical bundle assembly" in which we add all the connectors which are electrically defined,after adding all the connectors we convert mechanical assembly design into electrical assembly by using "Geometrical Bundle" command.
STEP-3
Oriented and locate all the connectors approximately in the required location in assembly workbench.
STEP-4
Creating Budle segments and branching points between the connectors.
First create bundle segment between the connectors DT06-8S andDT06-6S. Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 10mm.
Then create the branch points and add the segments to join the two DTO6-4S connectors.Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 5mm.
Similarly create another branch point and add the segments to join the two DT06-2S connectors.Here assumed harness bundle diameter as 5mm.
STEP-5
Add protective covering on the required segments for harness bundle.
Above the picture shows that the protective covering on the harness bundle segment connected to DTO6-4S.
Here corrogated tube diameter kept as 10mm as the harness bundle diameter is 10mm and as shown in the above diagram end extremely is at 30mm away from the bundle entry point.
Above picture shows that the protective covering on the harness bundle segment connected to DT06-2S.
Here also corrogated tube diameter kept as 15mm as the harness bundle diameter is 15mm.And as shown in the above diagram end extremity is at 30mm away from the bundle entry point.
