Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 5 & 6 Challenge
Question:
Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Use the connectors provided. After completion of routing,
- Check the bundle Continuity. Add snap of result in submission
- Add annotation to all connectors. Make an assumptions for annotations like connect 1 , 2 etc
- Check for the bundle warning. Add snap.
- Generate CAT.part of harness assembly and convert is in. igs format.

Data on catalog hunder harnessB
COT
Create a family for corogative tube in catalog whicch was created early
Create a few COT tubes and add it to the family
Data stored to COT_tube family
Create Harness A product file
Given reference diagram
Create a product file, Harness_A_ASSY
opn catalog browser and locate Harness_A_components family
add all required data
convert mechanical assy to geometrical bundle
firsly possision HA6 and HA10
adding Main branch
add 2 branching point
Position HA7 with respect to first branching point as per the diagram
Add harness
Position HA8 with respect to first branching point as per the diagram
adding branch
add branching point
Position HA9 with respect to first branching point as per the diagram
create a plane and add anotation flags on all connectrs
Adding COT_tube
Create product assy file Harness_B_ASSY
add all nessory data from the catalog
define as geometrical bundle
create main branch between HB1 and HB5
create a branching point
Add HB2 , HB3 & HB4 to respective position
adding branges
check for disconected branch
no disconnected branch found
Add respective protective cover. from data sved in catalog
add flag notes
Create a new product assy with Harness A and Harness B
Use snap tool to align the 2 harness
Electricaly disconnected
Electricaly connected
To generate catpart
converted file
re-adjust the color profile and hide unnessory detail
save file as .igs
ALL FILES ATTACHED AS IN ZIPED FOLDER
igs, catpart , assymbly files
