SOLUTION METHODOLOGY:
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:
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.
Q2. Download following Back shell cad data & define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
Tyco 1738312-1 https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1738312-1.html
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.
Q3. Create Following Corrugated tubes & Add them in Catalogue under “Slit COT” family.
