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

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

Harness A

Catalog:

• Adding all connectors into the catalog.
• Then add the required connector to the "Electrical assembly workbench".
• Arrange the connector given the "Harness A" layout.

     

     

Geomentrycal bundle:

• Arranging the connector as per the "Harness A" layout.
• Then create the bundle using the "Electrical harness assembly workbench".
• First, generate the "GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE".
• Then Add the bundle between the connector to the connector.
• Add the Branch point using the "Add branch" command.
• Branch point adding to use to connect connector.

     

Multi-branch:

     

Add branch point:

   

     

     

Check the bundle Continuity:

• Completely connected to all connectors and bundles.
• Check the connector and bundle are completely connected or not.
• Using the command "FULLY CONNECTED"
• TRUE= Fully connected bundles.
• FALSE=Not connected bundles.
• Show the result.

     

     

 ADD PROTECTION:

• Providing Corrugated tubes for protection for the bundles.
• Providing various size tubes.

     

3D ANNOTATION:

• The 3D annotation is used on the wiring harness to show the connector function and additional notes.
• This annotation is to be added to the harness data to show specific information relating to the harness (wire type, wire spec, any additional information, and comments).

    

     

BUNDLE WARNING:

• These warnings are usually displayed in the structure of the wire harness geometrical bundle.
• it's usually related to the bend radius, bundle diameter, or the vector position of your bundle segments.
• If any issues are found the yellow flash warning symbol will appear in the tree structure of the geometrical bundle.
• Resolve the problem using the following: 
  
  • Change the supporting clips' location/ direction.
  • Update new vector points.
  • Add to slack to solve the problem for some time.
  • Update branch point direction.
  • Provide a new supported curve using Tangent management and From curve.

     

Generate CAT.part of harness assembly and convert is in. igs format

• It is sometimes used to be represented by some other tools (NX-CAD, CREO, etc.,)or lower vision Catia software.
• Create the CAT.part and convert the IGES or STEP file for the given requirements.

     

     

HARNESS B

Catalog:

• Adding all connectors into the catalog.
• Then add the required connector to the "Electrical assembly workbench".
• Arrange the connector given the "Harness B" layout.
