Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

Aim:-

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

P clamp

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

Solution:-

Clip/Clamp Definition -

• Get the clip 3D part
• Define the Geometry Parameters
• Define part as support
• Define the entry point & plane
• Define the exit part & plane

Mechanical Part Design Workbench

• Define the Geometry Parameters

Points and Planes -

Defining the points for both sides through point definition.

Creating entry, exit, and base planes through plane definition.

Electrical Part Design Workbench

• Define part as support

The support definition for the p clamp is defined twice to make bilateral connectivity. The point selected for the side will be the entry side of the bundle, which is done for both sides. The entry point & plane, Base & Exit plane is defined in the support definition.

Aim:-

Q2. Download the following Back shell cad data & define it as an Electrical back shell using the Electrical Part Design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

• Define Bundle connection point

Mechanical Part Design Workbench

• Define the Geometry Parameters

Points and Axis system -

Defining the points through point definition for bundle entry and mating sides.

Defining the axis system for the mating side, where the y-axis is in the mating direction, the x-axis to the side, and the z-axis is directed upward.

Electrical Part Design Workbench

• Define part as Backshell

Part is defined as backshell using the back shell definition command.

• Backshell connection point

• Define Bundle connection point

Aim:-

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

Name	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	Thickness (mm)

5mm COT	3	5	1

Solution:-

Creating Protection Covering -

• Create a covering 3D part
• Create a catalog for coverings
• Add a new part to the catalog
• Apply covering on harness bundles from the catalog

Electrical Part Design Workbench

• Define the protection part

Specifying inner diameter, Thickness, and the Bend radius which is 1.5 times the outer diameter
