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

-Create a seperate folders for creating Harness A and B

-Open new product and name it as Harness A

-Import all components and electrically define the elements as connectors in the electrical part design.

Harness_B

Harness_A

- Open the Harness_A product file in assembly workbench.

-Allign the connectors according the requirement by using by taking one element as reference ,use the compass to move connectors from

-Make use they are in same plane.

-Select the geometric bundle in the Creation toolbar.Now the file is electical defined.

-Select the Multi-branchable document in the Creation toolbar.

-select the connectors to routing the bundle.

-set the diameter as 10mm,Bent radius ratio as 1.4 and slack 0.

-Select the Add Branch point in the Creation toolbar.

-Select distance were to create point in the bundle.

-Create sub-branch as required .

-Similarly create the Sub-bundle as required.

-Similarly Create Harness_A product file and follow the same procedure.

-Open a new product file and rename the file as Harness_A & Harness_B

-Copy and paste Harness_A and Harness_B into the Design tree.

-Allign to a plane.

-Select the Electrical connect devices from the Electrical connection point definition toolbar.

-select the 5 and 6 connectors to connect.

1.Bundle Continuity

-Click on edit -search-advanced

-Set the Workbench- Electrical,Type-Bundle segment,Attribute-Fully connected.select true.then click on search.

-List shows the continuty of the Bundle.

-

2.Annotation

-Open the Assembly workbench

-Select view from reference from annotation toolbar.

-select the plane to show annotation.

-Select the Flag note from leader to open annotation box.

-Type the note.

-Similarly do for all connectors.

3.Bundle Warning check

No error

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

-click on tools in the mechanical assembly workbench.

-Select Generate CADPart from product

-Select the product.
