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

Aim :

To Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench by makeing assumption for harness bundle diameters and Useing 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.

Creating the Connector Connection point and Bundle Connection point for all the given connectors.

Connector connection point:

• Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
• Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction.
• Create Connector connection point.

Bundle connection point:

• Create Bundle connection point.
• Define Bundle connection point.

• After all the connectors are defined, the workbench was switched to Electrical Harness Assembly where Geometrical Bundle was activated.
• All the connectors were routed usingthe Multi-Branchable Document command.

Catalogue creation

HARNESS B

HARNESS A

Harness Assembly

1)Check the bundle Continuity

2) Add annotation to all connectors

3) Check for the bundle warning.

After checking warning we correct the error by moveing a bundle branch point towards the left. Then it was corrected.

4) Generate CAT.part of harness assembly and convert is in. igs format.
