Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
Q1. Download following clip cad data & define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties
P-Clamps:
P-clamps are one-piece clips made from metal or plastic that mechanically fasten electrical cables, hydraulic hoses or pipes along their route.

Input Clamp: Hellarmann Tyton – 21160129
Process:
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Given stp or igs file is converted into part model.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Geometry parameters:
-Create two points one as entry and another as exit point.
-Create planes at two points and another at base.
<!--[endif]-->
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Switch to Electric part design
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Click on support definition - select part - select entry point - select entry plane, exit and base plane.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Again, click on support definition - 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.
Backshell:
A backshell is an accessory that mounts to the rear threads of a connector to enhance its operational characteristics. The primary function of a backshell is to provide strain relief, which minimizes stress from the cable, on the junction where the wires terminate to the contacts.

Process:
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Given stp or igs file is converted into part model.
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->● <!--[endif]-->Geometry parameters:
-Create a Back shell entry point.
-Create an axis system for back shell connection with connector.
-Create a bundle connection point.

Protective covering:
The wire harness should be covered with a protective sheath or sleeve to protect it from damage. Providing an extra layer of insulation will protect your wires and cables.
