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

WEEK 5 & 6 CHALLENGE

AIM - Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Use 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.

REPORT

• The given input is downloaded from the the given link.
• And is subjected to open in CATIA V5 part workbench to initiate the process of electrical defining with respect to bundle entry and connector connection points.
• The input is provided with two harness assemblies i.e., Harness A and Harness B with a total of 10 Connectors mentioned above with 5 each.
• PROCEDURE: -
  • CAD part is loaded in partworkbench
  • Created Bundle entry and Connector Connection Point
  • Switch to Electrical Part Workbench
  • Defined Connector, Connector Connection Point, and Bundle Entry Point.
  • Arranged the connectors in assembly workbench as per the assumed dimensions .
  • Switch to Electrical Harness Assembly Design workbench
  • Defined the product file as Geometrical Bundle and Created Multi-Branches to the connectors as per the layout diagram for both A and B assemblies.
  • Checked the assemblies with Bundle Continuity option and ensured that all bundle segments are properly connected.
  • Switch to Electrical Assembly design workbench and load both the Harness A and Harness B sub assemblies.
  • Connect both assemblies using Connect electrical devices command in workbench.
  • Annotate the assemblies to verify that the connectors are properly assembled.
  • The CATPart has generated from the CATProduct file and is converted to .igs format as instructed to do.
  • Catalogue has created and components are added on particular timing of creation.
• All the files, images, Catalogue, inputs used are provided in the below browse option, with each in separate folders.

CONCLUSION

• Routed the harness layout in Electrical workbench
• Made assumption for harness bundle diameters.
• Checked the bundle Continuity
• Added annotation to all connectors
• Generated CAT.part of harness assembly and convert is in. igs format.
• Defined mechanical components electrically and prepared the catalogue for the same
• Prepared the interconnection for harness A and B.
