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 :

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

2. 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 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 .

3. Stick Clamp :

Step - 1 : First , download the Stick 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 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 .

Bundle Entry Point :

Backshell Point :

Backshell Axis System :

Defined backshell :

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 .
