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

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

Steps:-

1. First we define all connector as a electrical component.
2. Place all the connectror according to given daigram which is Harness A and Harness B
3. Create product file which "Assembly_Wiring_Harness_context".
4. Under Assembly_Wiring_Harness_context two product file which is harness A and harness B
5. Define both Harness as a geometrical bundle
6. Route the harness A and Harness B with multibranchable command in which main branch dia 15mm and sub branch dai 10mm.
7. Assemble both harness with the use of "connect electrical devices" command in Electrical assembly design.
8. Edit>Search>Workbench-Electrical>Type-Bundle segment>Attribute-fully connected.  We will get one window, in that selecting True option will show all the connected bundle segments while selecting False option will show all the non-connected bundle segments. Now, we will check for True condition and search for result. All the bundle segments are showing connected. So there is bundle continuity in both Harness A & Harness B as shown in below images.
9. Add annotations for all the connectors in mechanical assembly design workbench. Annotations are used for giving connector name, functions etc. we have to select plane where annotation will be placed. In below image, we have selected front plane.
10. In this step we have to convert final harness assembly file into IGS format. So for that we need to follow below steps.   Mechanical Assembly Design workbench>Tools>Generate CAT Part from product. Now, whole file is converted into the IGS formatOnce the CAT part is created, the whole product file is converted into a single part.
