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

OBJECTIVE:

1. To Route the following harness layout in the Electrical workbench.
2. Add protective covering on all branches.
3. create them under electrical flattening harness.
4. Flattening view on drawing sheet.

REQUIREMENTS:

• CATIA V5.
• Knowlege of using CATIA V5.

GIVEN

CAD data of the following Connectors:

• DT06-4S.
• DT06-6S.
• DT06-2S.
• DT06-08SA.

ASSEMBLY PART

PROCEDURE

• Create Product File and rename.
• Import all the Connector files into it.
• open assembly under mechanical bench.
• Move according to its required position.
• open the file in harness assembly bench.
• create the wire connections between them with proper diameter and carefully choosing the positions and directions.
• exit the harness workbench where it leads to electrical assembly bench.
• use created cot tube to apply on them.

FEATURE TREE

ELECTRICAL FLATENING HARNESS WORKBENCH

• Create a Flatening Harness product file and import the harness assembly file by using extract command.
• Use Harness Flattening command to set the required parameters.
• Make sure you have selected a face of an electrical component instead of given plane.
• Make sure the circuit is proper.
• Use Rotate and role commands to give a proper flat view of the experiment.

DRAWING SHEET

Create new drawing file and import the flatening harness file.

CONCLUSION

• To Route the following harness layout in the Electrical workbench.
• Add protective covering on all branches.
• create them under electrical flattening harness.
• Flattening view on drawing sheet are done using CATIA V5.
