Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge:

Aim:

• In this challenge we need to give answers for 3 questions,for that first we need to Define P clamp,Back shell and Create given corrugated tube and catalogue for those.Lets start the challenge.

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

ans:

Introduction:

• It is a plastic molded parts with mounting/snapping features.
• The 3d model of P clamp we downloded from vendor online plateform

Clamp definition:

• For defining the clip first we need geometry that are create point on entry and exit of center of the part.

• Then create plane on that created points.

• Then we need to create base plane with 2mm offset.
• Then click the support definition and click the created geometries for defining a clip.

• After giving the support definition It was publish the important features.

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

Given data:

Tyco 1738312-1  https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1738312-1.html

Ans:

Introduction:

• Back shells are molded plastic part which is used for protecting the wire and improve the aesthetic apearance of the harness routing.
• These are not mandetary part,It is a cost driven part.
• It had a 3 types of backshell that are,L- type,90deg type,180 deg type.

Defining Back shell:

• Get the back shell 3D from te.com.

• Define the geometry parameter.

• Define the given part as a backshell.

• Define the Backshell connection point.

• Define the Bundle connection point.

Q3. Create Following Corrugated tubes & Add them in 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

Ans:

Introduction:

Protective covering:

• It is mainly use for protecting the wiring harness routing.
• It is divided into two types that are Corrugated Tubes and Insulation.
• In this challenge we are going to create the corrugated tube family catalogue.
• For that we need to create the corrugated tubes manually using above given data with Catia V5

Creation process of Corrugated tubes:

• First we need to create corrugated tube 3D models,for that mainly we need inner diameter,thickness and bending radius of the tube.

• The bending radius should kept in 1.5 x outer diameter of tubes.
• It is vary by dimension of wire what we are using in routing.
• Then we need to craete new catalogue path,that name contains "Slit COT" Family.
• Add a new corrugated tubes what we are create in that family.
• Then apply covering on harness bundled from catalogue.

Conclution:

• From this challenge we are learned about the defining the Clips,Back shells and protective Coverings.
