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

steps to follow

First download the CAD part and open it using the CATIA V5 software
Create the Points and Planes in Part Design Work Bench.
Define the part as support in Eletrical Part Design Workbench.
Select the point and Plane for First entry point and Select the exit plane and base plane.
Similarly Select the point and Plane for Second entry point and the exit plane will be automatically selected and base select plane.

2.Back shel:

A backshell is an accessory that mounts to the rear threads of a connector to enhance its operational characteristics. The primary function of a backshell is to provide strain relief, which minimizes stress from the cable, on the junction where the wires terminate to the contacts.
Backshells come in a variety of finishes, materials, and angle configurations. For material compatibility and aesthetics, backshells and connectors should have a matching material and finish. And to provide simple cable management, most backshells may be ordered in 45º and 90º angles.
To define the Electrical properties of the backshell we need to follow the below steps
