Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules
AIM:To define the given components as Electrical Connectors using Electrical Part design Workbench & to define all the necessary properties to the Connectors & Clip.
INTRODUCTION:
WIRING HARNESS:A wiring harness is an organised set of wires,terminals & connectors that runs throughout the entire vehicle & transmit the information and electrical power thereby playing a cruical role in connecting a vareity of components.The wirng harness is a combination of both mechanical & electrical data.
1. Download following cad data & define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
- Once downloading the partfile,create 2 pints for entry & exit by point>>center/sphere method.
- Create planes at that 2 points by using parallel through points and the base plane by using offset method.
- Now switch to Electrical part design.
- We need to define the part as support part for that,
- Click on "Define support part ">> select part >> select entry point, select entry plane,exit plane, and base plane.
- Again Click on "Define support part ">>select part >>select exit point ,select exit plane and base plane as the second plane is automatically taken.
- Once the Entry side is sone the entry side point gets hidden and again do the same process for exit.
2.Download following Back shell cad data & define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

- First download the component from the link.
- Provide the required geometrical parameters like points,axis system.
- The points are to be created by using point>>between command at the bundle entry point and the backshell connection point and an axis system at that point.
- Now Switch to Electric Part Design and define the part as Backshell.
- Define Bundle connection point.
- Define backshell connection point.
3.Create Following Corrugated tubes & Add them in Catalogue under “Slit COT” family.

- For creating protection cover-
- Open CATIA V5 >> Electrical Part Design.
- Using Define Protection Part
- Select the type as Corrugated Tube.
- Give the Required Parameters (Inner dia, Thickness, Bend Radii( Bend Radii= 1.5 times the OD)
- Click on OK
- After giving the necessary properties save the file.
