B |
|
bend radius | The bend radius is the minimum bend radius allowed for the bundle segment. |
branch | A set of bundle segments that share the same centerline. |
bundle | For electrical bundle: A document containing wires routed through geometrical bundles. |
bundle segment | A geometrical subdivision of a geometrical bundle. It is the wire graphical representation in the digital mock-up. The bundle segment is created according to several rules:
Where the term single bundle segment occurs in this guide, it refers to a CATPart document created under the active product that contains just one bundle segment. |
C |
|
connector | An electrical component providing an electrical interface between two bundles, an item of equipment and a bundle or between wires. Comprises one or more electrical terminations. They are of two types: physical connector (from Electrical Library, Catalog or V4) and functional connector (from EFD application). |
D |
|
diameter | Corresponds to the wire diameter together with the insulation. |
device | Generic term for connector, equipment, shell, etc. |
E |
|
effectivity | A data fork of values in which an option is effective. |
electrical bundle | A document containing the wires routed through geometrical bundles. |
electrical system | An electrical unit which accomplishes a specific function. Consists of equipment, connectors and signals. Described in a CATProduct document. |
electrical termination | Electrical connection (often called pin) on a connector |
equipment | Electrical device comprising one or more associated connectors. |
G |
|
geometrical bundle | A document containing an assembly of connectors, supports and insulation, as well as the geometric representation of a harness. |
H |
|
harness | An assembly of wires, connectors, supports and insulation manufactured together. Represented in CATIA by both geometrical and electrical bundles. |
I |
|
instance | Designation of reference placed in a context, i.e. in
design mode. An instance can have additional characteristics that do not
belong to the reference. For example, the instance of a wire has a length
attribute in an assembly context when its reference doesn't out of this
context. As opposed, see reference. |
M |
|
multi-branchable document | A set of branches, themselves containing bundle segments,
connected or not, composing the harness. It corresponds to a CATPart
document. See also single bundle segment document. |
P |
|
pin | An electrical termination |
properties | Attributes of a component that define its electrical, mechanical, etc. characteristics. |
protective covering | Covering element wrapping the conductor and possibly the insulating coating bringing out a mechanical protection. It can be a sleeve, a corrugated tube, a taping, etc. |
R |
|
reference | Describes a real object. A reference can be stored in a
catalog. In the electrical context a reference corresponds either to:
See also instance. |
routing | An operation that computes the optimized wire route between two or more extremities of a signal. |
S |
|
section | Corresponds to the section of the wire together with the insulation. |
segment | Refers to bundle segments, whether grouped in branches in a multi-branchable document or created as single bundle segments in bundle segment documents. |
single bundle segment document | Corresponds to a CATPart document containing just
one bundle segment. See also multi-branchable document. |
sleeve | Can be of two types:
|
W |
|
wire | Electrical wire: physical object corresponding to a signal |
wire connection | An electrical object linking two or more wires that share a common extremity |
