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

Wiring Harness Design - Harness A & B Routing

AIM:

To define the provided connectors electrically and route them as Harness A and Harness B.
To give annotations to both the harnesses.
To connect both the harnesses.
To check bundle continuity.

Wire Routing:

Connector Definition:

This step is used to define the component electrically. This step is done in the Electrical Part Design workbench.

Connector Connection Point Definition:

The connector connection definition process is similiar to all the variants of connectors.

Create a point on the center for Representation.
Insert an axis system keeping the origin as the point, where X axis is parallel (90 or 180deg) to the face of the connector and Y axis perpendicular to the face of the connector.
Contact being the outer most face of the connector.
Coincidence being the Y axis in the Axis System.
Orientation being the X axis in the Axis System.

Bundle Connection Point Definition:

The bundle connection definition process is similiar to all the variants of connectors.

Create a point on the center for Representation.
Insert an axis system keeping the origin as the point, where X axis is parallel (90 or 180deg) to the face of the connector and Y axis perpendicular to the face of the connector.
In the placement constraints, point is selected as the same.
Initial condition being the face of the bundle connection.

Harness A Routing:

Connectors:

10.

HARNESS A:

CONCLUSION:

The provided connectors were defined electrically and routed them as Harness A & Harness B.
Annotations to both the harnesses were given.
Both the harnesses were connected.
Bundle continuity was checked.
