Define Bundle Connection Point

This procedure describes how to Define bundle connection points  These points represent the position and the angles that the cable will be created.
If any geometric entities needed to create the steps below the constraints are not available. Double click on the connector part to change to part context. Change workbench to Electrical 3D Design Part and use the Geometric Elements toolbar to create the geometric elements. 

For this scenario, we will be utilizing the Equipment & Systems > Electrical Harness Discipline > Electrical 3D Design Part workbench to create the constraints.

  1. Once Creating Connection Point Constraints, Click Define Connector   , and select a part or product.

    Select from the PPR tree the connector C_END_BLOCK_3. The Bundle Connection Point Definition dialog box appears.
    • Change the Name to Rbt_Connection
    • For the Representation select the point. A representation can be a point or a surface.
    • For the Point, select the Point again. This point will possibly be used as bundle segment extremity.
    • For the Initial Condition, select the yz plane. This plane or axis will determine the direction in which the cable will come out of the connection point. (right-click the yz plane, and hide/show if not available)

    • Select OK when completed.

  2. The Rbt_Connection appears in the PPR tree.

  3. Click Define Connector   , and select a part or product.

    Select from the PPR tree the connector C_END_BOX_1. The Bundle Connection Point Definition dialog box appears.

    NOTE: you must type in a name, as the default name can only be used once, then it will give you a error.
    • Change the Name to Box_Connection
    • For the Representation select the point
    • For the Point, select the Point again
    • For the Initial Condition, select the xy plane

    • Select OK when completed.

  4. The Box_Connection appears in the PPR tree.

  5. Save your scenario.

  6. Next, we have to define the Geometrical Harness for the connection points that were created.
