Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

AUTOMOTIVE CLAMPS & SUPPORT FOR WIRING HARNESS.

- CLAMPS ARE USED A SUPPORT TO TIE WIRING HARNESS TOGETHER IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER.

- THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF CLAMPS & OTHER SUPPORTS.

- WE HAVE GOT A P CLAMP AS A CAD FILE IN WHICH WE HAVE TO WORK AND MAKE IT AS A ELECTRICAL PART.

- I DOWNLOADED THE FILE AND OPENED IT IN CATIA AS A NEW PART.

- FOR DEFINING THIS AS A ELECTRICAL SUPPORT PART , WE NEED ENTRY AND A EXIT WAY.

- SO THERE CAN TWO CONDITONS THE ENTRY CAN BE FROM ANY TWO SIDE ALSO THE EXIT CAN BE ALSO FROM ANY TWO SIDE.

- SO WE NEED TO DEFINE THEM FROM BOTH SIDE.

- FOR THAT FIRST IN PART WORKBENCH WE NEED TO TAKE POINTS AND PLANE , ONE ENTRY POINT WITH PLANE AND ONE EXIT POINT WITH PLANE.

- AND A BASE PLANE TO SUPPORT.

- YOU CAN SEE IN ABOVE IMAGE I CREATED POINTS AND PLANE.

- NOW WE CAN SWITCH TO ELECTRICAL WORKBENCH TO DEFINE THIS AS SUPPORT.

- SO IN SUPPORT DEFINATION WE NEED SELECT POINT AND PLANE.

- FOR FIRST CONDTION WE NEED TO SELECT FROM ONE SIDE & FOR SECOND CONDITION FROM ANOTHER SIDE.

BACKSHELL.

- BACKSHELL IS GENERALLY USED TO COVER THE HARNESS AND ALSO TO INCREASE AESTHETIC OF WIRING HARNESS ROUTING.

- THERE ARE FEW TYPES IN BACKSHELL ALSO,

- IT CAN A STRAIGTH TYPE OR L TYPE , MOST COMMONLY L TYPE IS SEEN EVERYWERE.

- WE HAVE GOT A CAD FILE FOR STRAIGTH TYPE BACKSHELL.

- WE NEED TO DEFINE IT HAS A ELECTRICAL BACKSHELL AND ALSO NEED DEFINE CONNECTOR CONNECTION POINT & BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT.

- SO FIRST WE NEED TO PROVIDE POINTS AND AXIS SYSTEM.

- THAN SIMPLY DEFINE THIS AS BACKSHELL.

- AND AT BUNDLE ENTRY POINT PROVIDE BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT.

CORRUGATED TUBES.

- CORRUGATED TUBES ARE USED AS COVERING AND PROTECTIVE COVER FOR THE HARNESS.

- IT ALSO HELPS IN AESTHETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR THE HARNESS.

- WE DONT TO HAVE A CAD FILE FOR THIS , WE CAN SIMPLY DESIGN AND CREATE CORRUGATED TUBES FOR DIFFERENT DIA.

- WE ARE GIVEN WITH SOME DATA FOR THAT SO LETS CREATE IT.

- OPEN A NEW PART DESIGN IN CATIA , OPEN ELETRICAL WORKBENCH AND CLICK ON DEFINE PROTECTION PART.

- SO HERE WE NEED TO PROVIDE THE DATA FOR GENERATING THE TUBE.

- INNER DIA , THICKNESS AND BEND RADIUS.

- BEND RADIUS WILL BE 1.5 TIMES THE OUTER DIAMETER.

- SO JUST LIKE I HAVE CREATED ALL THE GIVEN CORRUGATED TUBES.

- AND ALSO CRETED CATALOUGUE FOR THE SAME AND SAVED THEM IN THE CATALOGUE.
