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

Flattening the harness

Aim:

To create a wiring harness assembly for the given diagram and flattening the harness assembly and create drawing.

Objective:

· Create an bundle entry, connector connecting point and define connector in electrical part workbench.

· Positioning the connector by using various methods.

· Create a bundle with required dimensions and add protective coverings.

· Flattening the harness assembly in flattening workbench.

· Create a drawing of flattening assembly.

Introduction:

In wiring harness design connectors need to be convert into electrical part for connecting cavity and harness bundle. Connectors are plastic molded parts having with locking and retention features. Protection coverings are flexible, temperature, wear and tear resistant molded plastic. A wire harness is a specially designed system that keeps numerous wires or cables organized. It is a systematic and integrated arrangement of cables within an insulating material. The purpose of the wiring assembly is to transmit a signal or electrical power.
