Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
WIRING HARNESS ROUTING & PACKAGING RULES
Q1. Download following clip cad data & define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
- Wiring harness Assembly Structure — Clip Definition
This another important component Of the Wiring harness which should be defined
before wiring harness routing.
Following important parameters required to be defined: -
- Entry Point & Plane
- Base Plane
- Exit plane
- Wiring harness Assembly Structure — Connector Definition
Define Geometry Parameters:
Process:
- Create two points one as entry and another as exit point.
- Create planes at two points and another at base.
- Switch to Electric part design
- Click on support definition - select part - select entry point - select entry plane, exit and base plane.
- Again, click on support definition - select part - select exit point - select exit plane and base plane as secondary plane is automatically taken.
Q2. Download following Back shell cad data & define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

Backshell Basics: -
- Backshell are plastic moulded parts used at wire entry side of connectors either for
protection or to improve aesthetics/appearance of harness.
- These are not mandatory parts of Wiring harness. Are always optional and driven by Cost
Defining the Backshell:
Process:
- Create Back Shell Entry Point.
- Create Axis System for Back Shell Entry.
- Create Bundle Connection Point.
- Switch To Electrical Part Design.
- Define Part Electrically as Back Shell.
- Then Define Back Shell Connection Point.
- Define Bundle Connection Point.
