Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

WIRING HARNESS ROUTING & PACKAGING RULES WEEK 3 CHALLENGE

IN THIS REPORT:

1. Downloading the P Clamp cad data from given link & defining it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Defining all the necessary properties.

2. Downloading the Back shell cad data from given link (te.com) & defining it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Defining all the necessary properties.

3. Creation of Following Corrugated tubes & Add them into Catalogue under “Slit COT” family.

Name	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	Thickness (mm)
15mm COT	12	15	1.5
20mm COT	17	20	1.5
35mm COT	32	35	1.5
10mm COT	7	10	1.5
5mm COT	3	5	1

*create a axis system similarly as a parent mating product.

1. Downloading the P Clamp cad data from given link & defining it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Defining all the necessary properties:

P - CLAMP

PART WORKBENCH:

• Start from mechanical part workbench, create the couple of points in middle of the two sides (p-clamp).
• create the two planes based on the two points,these two points and planes are bifunctionally work as entry and exit ways of wire bundles.
• clamps had the two entry and two exit ways bifunctionally..
• additionaly create a base palne.

ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH: (SUPPORT DEFINTION)

• In this workbench mechanical part is converted into eclectrical support part.
• click a support definition and enter the data point.1, plane.1 in first plane defintion and plane.2 in second plane definition, plane.3 (base plane) in base plane definition.
• do again the support defintion, this time replace point.1, plane.1 by point.2, plane.2 then second plane is taken automatically from first support definition, and select a base plane.

*if you face any issue with point definition, point selection, Right-click on the point definition window and use the reset option.

2. Downloading the Back shell cad data from given link (te.com) & defining it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench. Defining all the necessary properties:

BACKSHELL C-1738312-1

PART WORKBENCH:

• Create a point in the middle of the mating face of the backshell and create a axis system based on that point.
• create a bundle entry point in the middle of the bundle entry face.

ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH: (BACK SHELL DEFINTION)

• Click the Back Shell definition and select the backsell then click a ok. now, mechanical part modified into electrical part.

ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH: (BACK SHELL CONNECTION POINT)

• Click a Back Shell Connection Point, enter the data.

ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH: (BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT)

• Click a Bundle Connection Point Definition, enter the data.

3. Creation of Corrugated tubes & Add them into Catalogue under “Slit COT” family:

35mm COT

ELECTRICAL PART WORKBENCH: (DEFINE PROTECTION PART)

• Start from the Electrical Part WB, click the Define Protection Part and select the part file then automatically dialog box is opened there.
• Enter the name, inner dia, thick and bend radii in the dialog box.
• bend radius should be 1.5 times of the outer radii.

DEVICE STORAGE:

• Click the Device Storage and select a catalog, family then Ok.

COT TUBES CATALOG:

• Catalog reduce the time consuming in designing.
• It is maintaing data of work done catpart, if its here there is no need to start a design from scratch.
• Infrastructure setting is one time effort from design engineer it gives more benefits.
• All Five Cot Tubes are created and saved in the 'SLIT COT' catalog successfully.
