Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

harness routing and packaging

procedure to define p clamp as electrical support.

• Download the file from given link.
• P clamp (the link)
• then load the file in mechanical part design.
• for p clamp it has one entry and one exit .
• so define point on both entry and exit by using point defination
• as shown in fig.
• 
• By using point type circle
• Do this on both side .
• next define the plane on both side.
• 
• select plane definition from the tool.
• in that select reeference as body which is highlighting in red on part and select the point that we defined.
• Then select ok . The plane will be created.
• same procedure will be for the exit side also.
• now define plane on bottom side.
• for that go to the plane definition and select offset from plane.
• 
• select reference as bottom surface and take offset of 2mm
• after doing this select ok the plane will be created.
• after this go to the electrical part design to defined as support.
• 
• click on the support denoted as in red part on right side.then select the part and the pop will come as a support definition.
• in that for entry side select point and plane from entry side .
• for second plane definition select opposite plane and for base plane definition select base plane.
• select ok .
• same procedure for the exit side also.
• this is how p clamp is defined as a support.

Q2. Download following Back shell cad data & define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

procedure of back shell defined as a electrical back shell.

• Download the file from a below link.
• Tyco 1738312-1 https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1738312-1.html
• Then load the part in mechanical part design.
• Give the point and axis.
• 
• Generally the round part is consider as a bunddle connection point so, using point definition and selecting point type as circle the point is created.
• On the other side point and axis is created for backshell connection.
• By using point definition and point type between point is created and by clicked on axis definition the axis is created . as shown in fig.
• 
• 

• now go to the elctrical part design and defined as back shell.
• for that go to the tool on right side there is tool named as define back shell click on that then click on the part.
• then pop up will come as shown in fig. on bottom side select ok.
• 

• Now define bunddle connection for that go to the define bunddle connection tool select on it then select the part.
• 
• For representation select the face on which we have created point .
• For placement constraints select the point we have created on circular side
• For initial condition select again the face.
• Then select ok . Now the bunddle connection is made.
• for back shell connection select the define back sheel connection tool.
• 
• On the right side on red colour denoted as back shell connection point.
• For representation select point denoted as red circle on the part.
• For contact ,coincidence and orientation select face denoted as black arrow , y-axis and x-axis respectively.
• now click ok . Then part is defined electrically.

Q3. Create Following Corrugated tubes & Add them in Catalogue under “Slit COT” family.

Name	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	Thickness (mm)
15mm COT	12	15	1.5
20mm COT	17	20	1.5
35mm COT	32	35	1.5
10mm COT	7	10	1.5
5mm COT	3	5	1

procedure to create corrugated tubes.

• select on the file go to new and click on the catalogue file.
• Then below shown window will open.

• In this window select on add family on right side denoted in red colour.
• after that the family definition pop up will come in that give the name cot_slit and select type 'conduit'.
• conduit is a type select for the corrugated tube.
• now the family is created.
• Now go to the file select new and then select the part.
• Then go to the electrical part design.

• In elctrical part design first select on the protective covering on right side denoted in red colour.
• Then select on the part name on left top side denoted in red colour
• The pop up will come as the 'Define protection part'
• In that type the name as cot_10 then select the diameter and thickness given for cot_10 in question.
• Bend radius will be the prduct of inner diameter and thickness.
• select ok . The part will be define .
• Then select on the storage device denoted as in black colour.

• After selecting that this pop up will come in select the family we created as slit_cot and select ok .
• Now the proctective covering cot_10 is now create and storeed in catalog name slit_cot.
• Similar procedure have to follow for the others.
• only inner diameter and thickness value will vary and other procedure remains same.
