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 |
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.
Entry / Exit.
Entry / Exit.
Base.
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.
Backshell Definition -
- Get the Backshell 3D part
- Define the Geometry Parameters
- Define part as Backshell
- Backshell connection point
- 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.
Mating Side.
Bundle Entry Point.
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.
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.
COT_5mm.
COT_10mm.
COT_15mm.
COT_20mm.
COT_35mm.
Creating a catalogue for Corrugated Tubes:
Go to File>New>CatalogDocument
Name it as Slit COT.
Type: Conduit.
Save it to the desired location.
Conclusion
All the necessary properties of Clamp, Backshell & Corrugated tubes are Defined.
