WIRING HARNESS DESIGN IN CATIA V5 - 3D MODELING

WEEK 5 & 6 CHALLANGE :-

Q1. ROUTE THE FOLLOWING HARNESSS 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.

ANSWER :-

{1} AIM :-

(A) ROUTING TWO ELECTRICAL HARNESS AS PER GIVEN LAYOUT AND INTERCONNECT THEM AS A SINGLE HARNESS ASSEMBLY.

(B) CHECK FOR BUNDLE CONTINUITY, BUNDLE WARNINGS AND TO PROVIDE ANNOTATIONS TO ALL THE CONNECTORS OF THE FINAL ASSEMBLY.

{2} OBJECTIVE :-

(A) THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO FIRST ROUTE THE HARNESS A AND HARNESS B AS PER THE GIVEN LAYOUT .

(B) DEFINING OF ALL THE CONNECTORS AND CLIPS ELECTRICALLY AND GEOMETRICALLY.

(C) CREATION OF THE ELECTRICAL LAYOUT OF BOTH THE GIVEN HARNESS A AND B.

ABOVE FIGURE SHOWS THE LAYOUT OF TWO HARNESS A AND HARNESS B.

{3} DEFINING ALL THE CONNECTORS :-

ALL THE CONNECTORS ARE REPRESENTED BY NUMBERS IN THE ABOVE FIGURE , THERE ARE 8 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONNECTORS AND A CAVITY CLIP AT 10 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

DIFINING ALL THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS GEOMETRICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY FOR ITS FURTHER USES IN THE WIRING HARNESS.

(8)

(9) (10)

{4} HARNESS A :-

(A) AFTER DEFINING OF ALL THE CONNECTORS ELECTRICALLY AND GEOMETRICALLY, CREATE A CATLOGUE FOR ALL THE CONNECTORS AND ADD ALL THE CONNECTORS OF HARNESS A ASSEMBLY.

(B) AFTER THIS SWITCH TO ASSEMBLY DESIGN THEN ORIENT AND MOVE THE CONNECTORS WITH COMPASS TO THE PROPER LOCATIONS FOLLOWING THE ELECTRICAL LAYOUT.

(C) THEN SWITCH TO ELECTRICAL HARNESS ASSEMBLY AND DEFINE THE ASSEMBLY AS GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE .

(D) THEN ROUTE ALL THE CONNECTORS USING MULTI-BRANCHABLE DOCUMENT COMMAND.

{5} HARNESS B:-

(A) AFTER DEFINING OF ALL THE CONNECTORS ELECTRICALLY AND GEOMETRICALLY, CREATE A CATLOGUE FOR ALL THE CONNECTORS AND ADD ALL THE CONNECTORS OF HARNESS B ASSEMBLY.

(B) AFTER THIS SWITCH TO ASSEMBLY DESIGN THEN ORIENT AND MOVE THE CONNECTORS WITH COMPASS TO THE PROPER LOCATIONS FOLLOWING THE ELECTRICAL LAYOUT.

(C) THEN SWITCH TO ELECTRICAL HARNESS ASSEMBLY AND DEFINE THE ASSEMBLY AS GEOMETRICAL BUNDLE .

(D) THEN ROUTE ALL THE CONNECTORS USING MULTI-BRANCHABLE DOCUMENT COMMAND.

{6} HARNESS ASSEMBLY :-

{7} CONNECTIVITY CHECK :-

(A) HARNESS ASSEMBLY :-

(B) HARNESS A :-

(C) HARNESS B :-

{8} ANNOTATIONS :-

{9} CONVERTED AS A PART BODY AND SAVE AS .IGS FILE.
