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

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 assumptions 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.

The objective of this project is to first, download the given files from TE.com then define them as an electrical connector or equipment and give all the required electrical properties to them using the electrical part design workbench and lastly route the following harness layout in electrical workbench on CATIA V5.

These are the steps required to do in this project-

1. Create the required geometrical parameters for connector
2. Create a bundle entry point
3. Define part as a connector
4. Create bundle connection point
5. Create a connector connection point
6. Saving the connector in catalogue
7. The connectors are placed in their proper positions as given in the task.
8. The connectors are moved and oriented according to the given requirements.
9. Defining the Geometric Bundle
10. Creating Multi-Branchable, Branch Points and Connections

The given components are as follows:
