This task shows how to create a
geometrical bundle.
A geometrical bundle is the representation of an assembly of wires grouped
together with a common covering and connected to electrical connectors. |
 |
-
You are advised to create a geometrical bundle
representing the harness first before any other action like instantiating
harness connectors, creating a multi-branchable document, adding bundle
segments or connecting devices, as the geometrical bundle will become
flexible when needed.
-
By default, you must create a geometrical bundle
before creating bundle segments. To change this setting (in the
Tools > Options menu), refer to
Electrical Harness Installation Options.
-
Thanks to the selective loading capabilities,
you can work with the cache activated.
Refer to
Selective Loading in Electrical Products.

Open the
ElectricalBasic.CATProduct document.
It contains devices to be connected together in a geometrical bundle.

Click Geometrical
Bundle
.
You are prompted to select the product you want to become the geometrical
bundle.
-
Select the product of interest: Product1
The geometrical bundle is created, with electrical properties.
In the specification tree, the name and icons have been modified.
 |
 |
Only the following can be selected to become a geometrical
bundle:
- A product which does not already have electrical properties
and behavior
- A product which does not result from the New Part
command
- A product which does not result from the New Component
command (inline product).

You are now ready to start your design. You can create and
organize your harness assembly in two different ways. By:
