Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 7 Challenge
Q1. Flatten the harness assembly completed in “ week 4 challenge”. Place the flattened view on drawing sheet. Ensure bundles with protective coverings has different visuals on drawing view.
AIM- To prepare a flattened view of a previously created harness assembly
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.
FLATTENED VIEW:
The Harness assembly is Flattened by selecting the reference plane and selecting all branches with protective coverings.
CONVERSION TO 2D DRAFTING :
The flattened harness is converted to 2D drafting file by adding required annotations and saved as .CATDrawing file and harness assembly is flattened as per given guidelines.
