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 CAT.part of harness assembly and convert is in. igs format.
STEP 1:
Create geometric and electrical definitions for all electrical connectors that will be used in the wiring harness.
Connectors Used in Harness A
Connectors Used in Harness B
STEP 2 :-
ARRANGE ALL COMPONENTS IN GIVEN DIGRAM
Harness A
With Safety Corrugated Tubes keeping ends 30mm away from the Connectors
Harness B
With Safety Corrugated Tubes keeping ends 30mm aways from the Connectors
STEP 3:
Following the creation of Harness A and Harness B, the bundle continuity must be checked.
To begin, ensure that multi-branchable is selected, then navigate to Edit>Search>Advanced>Electrical Workbench>Type-Bundle Segment>Attribute-Fully Connected.
Selecting "TRUE" will display all connected bundle segments, while selecting "FALSE" will display all non-connected bundle segments.
STEP 4:
In this step, we must electrically connect Wiring Harness A and Harness B. A few steps must be taken in order to electrically connect the two harnesses.
In this step, we will annotate all of the electrical connectors.
Annotations are used to display connector functions as well as extra information. They are defined in CATIA V5's Assembly Design Workbench.
First, we must select a plane on which to place the annotation.
Second, select the "flag note with ladder" function and then individually click on connectors. As shown below, provide the necessary information to all of the connectors.
After we've added annotations to all of the connectors, we should increase the font size of the annotations to make them more visible.
