CATIA ELECTRICAL HARNESS QUESTION

CATIA ELECTRICAL HARNESS QUESTION

CATIA ELECTRICAL HARNESS QUESTION

(OP)
Hi,

I have created (for training purpose) the assembly attached to this message.




I want to create an electrical branch between the two components (Support001.1 and Support001-COPY.1).
The first one has electrical properties and accept to be the one of the ends.
The other one (a copy of the first part, used here for training purpose only) can not be selected for creating the other end of the branch.
It should be electrified, but I do not know how to do that (I tried to add Publications, but I couldn't get good results).
Could somebody give me a helping hand in this matter?

Thanks!

P.S. All the components will be added later.

RE: CATIA ELECTRICAL HARNESS QUESTION

To electrify a support you need to go to "Electrical Part Design" Module / Toolbar "Electrical Support Definition" / Icon "Define Support Part".
1. Click on define support
2. Define name
3. Select point and plane to define first plane
4. Select a plane parallel to the first as second plane
5. Ok and this should be all

Let me know if you succeed.

How about these two tools:





What are they used for?

Those toolbars are used to electrify connectors, backshells and so on.
