Splitting Bundle Segments

This task shows you how to split a bundle segment into two.

The document now contains a bundle segment.

You are in the Electrical 3D Design Assembly workbench.

1. Click Split in the assembly workbench.

   You are prompted to select the bundle segment you want to split.

2. Select a bundle segment, then select another point on the bundle segment to locate the reference and split points:

   The split point is highlighted and the Split dialog box opens:
   	CATIA creates a reference point and locates both the reference point and the split point at the bundle segment end nearest your second selection. Click Other Extremity in the dialog box to locate the reference point at the other end of the bundle segment.

3. Move your cursor over the bundle segment to relocate the split point.

   	Note: As you do so, distance values in the dialog box are updated. You can also enter a ratio or a length in the dialog box to define the distance of the split point from the reference.

4. Click OK to validate:
   The bundle segment is split in two and a new bundle segment is created.

	Tangent continuity between bundle segments is maintained. The two bundle segments, each have their own curve and parameters such as bend radius, diameter, etc. They can be edited separately.

• Click the Multi-branchable Document command in the Electrical 3D Design Assembly workbench to switch to the Electrical 3D Design Part workbench.
• Click the Branch Definition command to define bundle segment parameters
• Route the bundle segment.
