Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
Aim: Define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
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
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 desgn
- Click on support defination - select part - select entry point - select entry plane, exit and base plane.
- Again Click on support defination - select part - select exit point - select exit plane and base plane as secondary plane is automatically taken.
Define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
Backshell Definition:
Backshell are plastic molded 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 .
Define "Geometry Parameters:
Process:
- create Back shell entry point.
- create axis system for back shell entry.
- create bundle connection point.
- switch to Electrical part design.
- Define part electricaly as back shell.
- Then define Back shell connection point.
- Define bundle connection point.
