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.
The above figure shows us the orientation of two seperate harness which we have to assembled in order to get the final harness assembly.
There are total 8 different connectors at 10 locations.
We have to download the connectors and then define them electrically.
After that we have to design both the harness, Harness A & Harness B while adjusting the connectors and placing them in the required positions.
After the harness are created, we have to join those harness and have them electrically interconnected.
STEP 1:
Defining all the connectors.
HARNESS A CONNECTORS
HARNESS B CONNECTORS
HARNESS A:
After all the components are defined, open a new product file, where we copy all the neccessary components and place them as per the required diagram. We do that by swtching it into the mechanical assembly design workbench and using the 'manupulation' command.
After that we define the product file as a Geometric bundle and route the bundle using the Multi-Brancable command.
CONNECTIVITY CHECK
The search parameter was set to TRUE which means all the bundles are electrically connected.
HARNESS B:
After all the components are defined, open a new product file, where we copy all the neccessary components and place them as per the required diagram. We do that by swtching it into the mechanical assembly design workbench and using the 'manupulation' command.
After that we define the product file as a Geometric bundle and route the bundle using the Multi-Brancable command.
CONNECTIVITY CHECK
The search parameter was set to TRUE which means all the bundles are electrically connected.
HARNESS ASSEMBLY(HARNESS A & HARNESS B)
CONNECTIVITY CHECK
The search parameter was set to TRUE which means all the bundles are electrically connected.
ANNOTATIONS
At last the product file is converted into CAT.part and then into igs.
