Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

OBJECTIVE:

To Solve the given Challenges using CATIA V5.

REQUIREMENTS:

• CATIA V5.
• Knowlege of using CATIA V5.
• wiring harness routing and its package rules knowlege.

QUESTIONS

Q1. Download following cad data & define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

Given P clamp.

PROCEDURE

1. The given clip was downloaded and opened as a part file.
2. I have to define two points that will be used as entry and exit points.
3. Then a plane has to be defined at the points.
4. A base plane has to be defined at a distance of 2 to 3 mm from the clip.
5. again we define the exit point at the first definition as the entry point.
6. hence I have two entry and two exit points.
