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

AIM:

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

1. Check the bundle Continuity. Add snap of result in submission
2. Add annotation to all connectors. Make an assumption for annotations like connect 1, 2 etc
3. Check for the bundle warning. Add snap.
4. Generate CAT.Part of harness assembly and convert is in. IGS format.

Process:

Bundle connection point:

To open the part design and create the midpoint on bundle connection wire.

Connector connection point:

To create the midpoint on connector connection face and Axis system to refer the connector connection point create and change axis direction connector connection face to same direction on Y-axis mounting direction, change direction on X-axis on locking mechanism and X-axis perpendicular to the Z-axis.

Switch to Electric Part Design:

To select the define part as connector tool, to choose on single insert connector and give no. of termination as 4 because we have 4 entry points for wire.

HARNESS B:

After all the connectors are defined, the workbench was switched to Electrical Harness Assembly where Geometrical Bundle was activated. All the connectors were routed using the multi-Branch able Document command.

CONNECTIVITY CHECK:

HARNESS A:

After all the connectors are defined, the workbench was switched to Electrical Harness Assembly where Geometrical Bundle was activated. All the connectors were routed using the multi-Branch able Document command.

CONNECTIVITY CHECK:

HARNESS ASSEMBLY:

Assembly on harness A and harness B combine to single connection process.
