Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 7 Challenge

AIM- To prepare a flattened-view of a previously created harness assembly

OBJECTIVE- The objective of this project is to create a flattened-view for a harness assembly and then place it on the drawing sheet. It is desired that the bundles with protective coverings are represented with different visuals on the drawing sheet.

HARNESS FLATTENING:

• WE GO TO THE HARNESS FLATTENING WORKBENCH AND DEFINE THE FLATTENING PARAMETERS.
• WE USE THE EXTRACT COMMAND TO BRING THE HARNESS ASSEMBLY TO THE FLATTENING WORKBENCH HERE.
• CHOOSING A SUITABLE PLANE WE FLATTEN THE HARNESS ASSEMBLY.
• BUNDLE SEGMENTS ARE ROTATED AT THE REQUIRED ANGLES. THE HARNESS ASSEMBLY IS THEN DRAFTED.
• FLATTENING PARAMETERS ARE DEFINED IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BUNDLE AND THE CORRUGATED TUBES VISIBLE IN THE 3D DRAWINGS.
