Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 5 & 6 Challenge

Q1. Route the following harness layout to the Electrical workbench. Make assumptions for harness bundle diameters. Use the connectors provided. After completion of routing,

Aim:

Route two electrical harnesses as per the given layout and interconnect them as a single harness assembly

Check for bundle continuity and bundle warnings and then provide annotations for the final harness assembly.

Objective:

1. The objective of this project is to first route the two Harness A and Harness B as per the given harness layout.

Figure 1: Shows the layout of two Harness A and Harness B

The electrical connectors are represented by numbers in the above figure. There are 8 different types of connectors at 10 different locations.

2. Bundle continuity has to be checked for the two created harnesses.
3. After the two Harnesses are created, the next objective is to have them interconnected electronically.
4. Check for bundle warnings for Harness A and Harness B.
5. Add annotations to all the connectors in Harness A and Harness B.

Content

The following steps are to be done to complete this project.

Step1: Define all the electrical connectors geometrically and electrically so that they can be used in the wiring harness.

HARNESS A

Once all the connectors are defined, the workbench is switched to the Electrical Harness Assembly where Geometrical Bundle is activated. All the connectors were routed using the Multi-Branchable Document command.

HARNESS B

Once all the connectors are defined, the workbench is switched to the Electrical Harness Assembly where Geometrical Bundle is activated. All the connectors were routed using the Multi-Branchable Document command.
