Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 7 Challenge
FLATTENING THE WIRING HARNESS ASSEMBLY
OBJECTIVE:
- To define the mechanical parts electrically and prepare a geometrical bundle.
- To flatten the electrically defined geometrical bundle using wiring harness flattening workbench.
- To prepare a drawing of the flattened wiring harness assembly in drawing work bench.
INTRODUCTION:
CATIA Electrical Wire Harness Flattening provides automatic and complete flattening of 3D Electrical Harnesses for manufacturing documentation in a concurrent engineering environment.
BENEFITS:
- Seamless collaboration between harness designers and manufacturing to ensure accuracy of 3D information transferred to manufacturing.
- Best environment for harness detailed manufacturing documentation and form-board design.
- Reduce effort for generation & maintenance of 2D harness drawings.
- Integrated design to manufacturing process with the support of design changes.
- Reduce cycle time with the ability to reuse existing documentation.
