Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

REPORT

Defining P Clamp.

The following steps are being followed:

1. The given CAD file is downloaded and opened in CATIAV5 Software
2. While defining the P Clamp, 2 entry sides and a base should be given
3. Using part design workbench the points at the 2 sides are created using centre of circle definition
4. Planes parallel to their respective sides are created at these point as reference
5. And a base plane is being created as shown in below Snip
6. Now the part is being defined as Support part using Define Support Part workbench in Electrical part design workbench
7. The inputs are given as First Point and Plane, Second Point and Plane and a Base Plane
8. This process is repeated once again as we need to consider both side entry provision
9. But this time we need to select the First point which is selected as second point previously
10. The second point will be selected by default, which was the first point in earlier case
11. And also the base plane is selected and Say ok
12. Finally Saving the Part, and also in the Standard Catalogue using Store Device Tool
13. This Completes the Process

Defining Back Shell.

The following steps are being followed:

1. The Given CAD Files is being downloaded and Renamed as Back_Shell_1
2. The given back shell was straight type,
3. It should have 1 bundle entry point and one Back shell connection point
4. The two points as above using part workbench in CATIAV5 Software is being created
5. The axis system for the same is also being created
6. Now the part is electrically defined as Back shell using define back shell tool in Electrical part design workbench
7. Now the Bundle connection Point and Back Shell Connection Point is Defined respectively
8. For Back shell Connection Point Face is given as Contact reference, X axis as Orientation and Y axis as direction of Coincidence
9. Finally Saving the Part, and also in the Standard Catalogue using Store Device Tool

Creation of COT Tubes.

The following steps are being followed:

1. The new part file is opened,
2. In Electrical Part design workbench, Used Define Protection Part tool
3. Now clicking on Part name it pops up a tab
4. The data are filled that includes Inner Diameter, Thickness and Bend Radius
5. Bend Radius will be generally around 1.5 times the outer diameter
6. Save the name as COT_X mm
7. Save the part
8. Here entry points or planes are not necessary
9. Store it in new catalogue named as “SlitCOT”
10. Similarly created all other 4 Cot Tubes and being stored in the same catalogue
