Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

Aim:

To solve the assignment questions and define all the necessary electrical properties in the respective workbench.

Objective:

1. Download the following cad data & define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part Design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

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

3. Create the Following Corrugated tubes & Add them to the Catalogue under the “Slit COT” family.

Design Methodology:

1. P-Clamp:

Step-1:

• First, download the P-Clamp IGS file and open it using the CATIA V5 software.

Step-2:

• Now we have to define geometry parameters.
• To define geometry parameters, we must navigate to the part workbench.
• We need to create planes at the entry and centre points.
• We need to create planes at the exit and centre points.
• we need to create a base plane taken from the surface
• base plane offset is 2mm.

Step-3:

• Switch to Electric part design in order to define the P-Clamp as Electrical Support.

Support 1:

• Now using the Define support part option we can define the P-Clamp Entry and Entry point.

Support 2:

• Now again using the Define support part option we can define the P-Clamp Exit and Exit point.

Furr_Clip_20mm:

Step-1:

• First, download the Furr_Clamp IGS file and open it using the CATIA V5 software.

Step-2:

• Now we have to define geometry parameters.
• In order to define geometry parameters, we must navigate to the part workbench.
• We need to create two lines on the given point.
• We need to create planes at the entry and point.
• We need to create planes at the exit and points.
• we need to create a base plane taken from the surface
• base plane offset is 0mm.

Step-3:

• Switch to Electric part design in order to define the Furr Clamp as Electrical Support.

Support 1:

• Now using the Define support part option we can define the Furr Clamp Entry and Entry point.

Support 2:

• Now again using the Define support part option we can define the furr-Clamp Exit and Exit point

Sticky Clamp:

Step-1:

• First, download the StickClamp IGS file and open it using the CATIA V5 software.

Step-2:

• Now we have to define geometry parameters.
• In order to define geometry parameters, we must navigate to the part workbench.
• We need to create two lines on the given points.
• We need to create planes at the entry and centre points.
• We need to create planes at the exit and centre points.
• we need to create a base plane taken from the surface
• base plane offset is 0mm.

Step-3:

• Switch to Electric part design in order to define the Sticky Clamp as Electrical Support.

Support 1:

• Now using the Define support part option we can define the Sticky Clamp Entry and Entry point.

Support 2:

• Now using the Define support part option we can define the Sticky Clamp Exit and Exit point.

2. Backshell:

Step-1:

• First, download the backshell IGS file and open it using the CATIA V5 software.

Step-2:

Bundle Entry Point:

Backshell Point:

Backshell Axis System:

Bundle Connection Point:

Backshell Connection Point:

3. Corrugated tubes:

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

COT Tubes Creation:

Process:

• First, we create a new part.
• Switch to Electrical Part Design.
• Select the define protection part.
• Click on part ( on the file name in specification tree)
• Provide given parameters and bend radius as '1.5*Outer Dia'

COT_15mm:

COT_20mm:

COT_35mm:

COT_10mm:

COT_5mm:

COT_Tube_Catalog:

• First, we create a new part in the Catalog document.
• We add family rename as Slit COT and select the type as Conduit then the save file.
• Open part to add Catalog.
• Select the store device command and select Catalog and select family as Slit _COT then click on ok.
