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

WEEK 7 CHALLENGE OF WIRING HASNESS DESIGN:

AIM:

To route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Place the flattened view on drawing sheet.

GIVEN CONNECTOR:

1. DT06-4S
2. DT06-6S
3. DT06-08SA

DTO6-2S:

DT06-4S:

DT06-6S:

DT06-08SA:

DEFINE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR:

1. Create/download connector in 3D
2. Create required geometrical parameter
3. Define part as connector
4. Define bundle connection point
5. Define connector connection point

PREPARATION OF HARNESS ASSEMBLY:

• To create product file in the electrical harness routing workbench after convertion of mechanical into electrical part.
• When creating the wire harness bundle segment first required to insert the electrical component that need to route the wire harness from and to.
• Before can route the wire harness from need an electrically define component for that electrical bundle command to convert into electrical component.
• From given input layout of wire harness geometrical bundle.

• After alline the connector has given layout of wiring harness routing.
• To create bundle use command of multi branchable document.
• After select the command it enter into the other page.
• To connect the connector use define branchable command.
• After select the command it open dialog box in that name of the bundle, diameter of the bundle, length of the bundle and blend radius of the bundle.
• Mean while connect the all the connector.

• To protection the wiring harness of the bundle corrugated tube is used.
• To place the corrugated tube protection covering command is used.
• Pick the suitable corrugated tube in the wiring harness bundle.

PREPARATION FLATTENING:

• After created the wiring harness bundle then create a new product file switch to electrical harness flattening workbench.
• Extract the wiring harness bundle before created.
• Then set the parameter of flattening the wiring bundle.

• In dialog box can change the name of the parameter and then select the active plane which side to projected the wiring harness bundle.
• After set the all parameter then give ok.

• After set the parameter now its ready to flattening the wiring bundle in tree structure flattening parameters has been highlighted.
• To flatten the bundle use flatten command.
• Select the flatten obtion then select the active plane which place to projected the wiring bundle.
• whether can use rotate and roll the bundle to which has required.

PREPARATION OF DRAWING SHEET:

• After the flattening bundle can ready for drafting the bundle.
• Create the drawing workbench and select the sheet and position to the sheet.
• Then import the drawing with help of front view command.
• select the wiring the bundle which side to concided has the front view.

CONCLUSION:

Routed the wiring harness following the given layout using electrical assembly workbench then flattening the wiring bundle and created the drawing sheet.
