Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
Aim :
- To define given P clamp CAD data as an electrical support using electrical part design workbench & define all the necessary properties.
- to define given Backshell CAD data as an electrical backshell using electrical part design workbench & define all the necessary properties.
- To create COT tubes with outer diameters 15mm,20mm, 35mm, 10mm & thickness 1.5mm, and outer diameter 5mm & thickness 1mm and add them under catalog in 'Slit COT' family.
Q1.Define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
P-CLAMP
Procedure :
- Open the P clamp in part design.
- Define geometry parameters which includes entry point & entry plane, exit point & exit plane, base plane.
- Open the part in the electrical part design workbench
- Define it as a support by using the define support command and input the parameters to define entry points and planes
- Hence all the necessary properties are defined to the given P clamp as shown below.


Q2. Define it as Electrical back shell using Electrical Part design Workbench
- Open the Backshell in part design.
- Define geometry parameters which includes backshell connection point, backshell axis system and bundle entry point.
- Open the part in the electrical part design workbench and define Backshell connection point and input the parameters
- Hence all the necessary properties are defined to the given Backshell as shown below.

Q3. Create Following Corrugated tubes & Add them in Catalogue under “Slit COT” family.

- Click on file, open new, create part.
- Go to electrical part design workbench
- Select protective coverings command and select the part body from model tree, select type, and enter parameter (inner diameter, thickness, bend radius, line properties)
- Save the part in the catalog in conduit type and define the family as Slit COT type.

Conclusion :
The P clamp, backshell are defined with necessary properties and corrugated tubes are created with desired sizes.
