Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
1. P - CLAMP:
P-Clamp is an Electrical Support equipment which provides support to the wire bundle to remain fixed to the automobile or any components or parts.
The wire bundle can enter and exit from any side as it is a bi-directional equipment.
So, we need to specify the Entry and Exit points from both the sides.
To define the P-Clamp as Electrical Support equipment we need to follow the below steps:
Step - 1:
First download the CAD part and open it using the CATIA V5 software.
Step - 2:
Now we have to define the geometry parameters.
In order to define the geometry parameters, we need to navigate to the Part Workbench.
Then we need to create points and plains at the entry and exit points.
Step - 3:
Now in order to define the P-Clamp as a Electrical support we have to navigate to the Electrical Part design Workbench.
Now using the 'Define support part' option we can define the P-Clamp Entry and Exit points.
As the P-Clamp is Bi-directional so we need to define the support two times.
