WIRING HARNESS DESIGN IN CATIA V5 – 3D MODELLING WEEK 7 CHALLENGE

AIM:

               To Flatten the harness assembly completed in “week 4 challenge” then place it in the flattened view on drawing sheet also Ensure bundles with protective coverings has different visuals on drawing view.

GIVEN MODEL:

WIRING HARNESS MODEL:

FLATTENING THE WIRING HARNESS:

STARTUP AND PARAMETER SETUP:

DRAFTING:

            Open the new file as drawing and select the required sheet size then drawing sheet is opened which is shown below.

            Open Edit --> Sheet background then create the Frame, Title block and Bill of Material by select the Flattening part name which is shown below.

            Then return to working view and select the Front view for drawing and select the Flattening part name the placed it in the drawing sheet.

            Above drawing shows thar bundle segment are in single line and Protective cover are in Double line which is already set in the Flattening parameters. Also, the front view setup is made to visible the lines and appearance which we want is shown below.

            Then finally mentioned all the connectors and Tape by balloon command. Final drafting of the Wiring harness flattening is shown below.

CONCLUSION:

          Thus, the Wiring harness Flattening in the mentioned part and also the drafting which the flattened view on drawing sheet is done. Bundles and protective coverings have different visuals in drawing sheet are also done.
