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,

• 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 .CATpart of harness assembly and convert is in .igs format.

Routing data:

 

Ans: Above figure shows the layout of two Harness A and Harness B

The electrical connectors are represented by numbers in the above figure.

There are 8 different types of connectors at 10 different locations. All these connectors are electrically defined and added to the catalogue.

 

• Bundle continuity has to be checked for the two created harnesses.

 

• After the two Harnesses are created, the next objective is to have them interconnected electrically.

• Check connectivity for bundle warnings in Harness A and Harness B.

• Add annotations to all the connectors in Harness A and Harness B.

HARNESS A:

 

HARNESS B:

 

HARNESS A & HARNESS B CONNECTION:

Above image shows Harness A & Harness B assembly.

 

Finally the .CATProduct file is saved as .CATPart and .igs files.

CONCLUSION: Routing of electrical harness is done using given data and parameters also the file saved in .igs format.
