This CATIA V5 Electrical Harness Design & Documentation training course will teach you how to create electrical devices and their catalogue. You will learn how to connect devices, design harnesses and create bundle segments.
You will also learn how to manage the branch points, protections and links, and how to perform knowledge checks. This course will teach you how to use the Electrical Wire Routing workbench to route signals and create wires using a harness and a functional definition. You will also learn how to integrate external tools with CATIA’s electrical products. This course will teach you how to use the Electrical Harness Flattening workbench to extract, flatten and synchronize an electrical /geometrical harness. You will learn how to manipulate the flattened harness and how to define and generate a harness flattening report.
You will also learn how to use text templates to create an annotated and dimensioned 2D drawing of a 3D harness. This course will teach you how to use the Electrical 3D Design Part and Assembly workbenches with a focus on the Consumer Goods industry. You will learn how to create electrical assemblies, route multi-branchables, route wires, and create drawings of the electrical harness assemblies.
