This task explains how to route wires and
wire groups from an external wire list into an
electrical bundle integrating data from a catalog. |
|
Open “…/online/ewrug_C2/samples/XMLrouting/Product1.CATProduct”
Make sure the CATIA
options are properly set up: for the purpose of this scenario
- In
electrical mapping:
- Map the wire and wire group types
- Select ...\online\ewrug_C2\samples\XMLrouting\WireCatalog.catalog
as electrical working catalog.
- In
external data interfacing:
- Enable the External System Interfacing
- Select ...\online\ewrug_C2\samples\XMLrouting
as System Repository
|
|
-
Click Automatic Routing
.
The wire list opens with connectivity and attribute
information: |
Note: Each wire group in the illustration contains one wire
(indented to the right under the group). |
For the wires and wire groups available in the list,
you get the following information:
- Name
- Identifier
- External diameter
- Bend radius
- Whether or not the wire or wire group is routed
- Whether or not the wire ends have been found, or changed.
Filters can help you make your selection:
- Hide already routed wires / wire groups
- Hide not routed wires / wire groups
- Hide wires whose ends are not found.
Routing options let you choose whether or not to use knowledge
rules. |
-
Select one or more wires and/or wire groups and click the
right arrow.
The selected wires and wire groups shift to the right column: they will
be routed.
-
|
Selecting this check box starts the
network assistant and detects and fixes connection problems. |
-
Click Route.
-
Close the report window.
|
- Selecting an individual wire in a wire group highlights the
route of this wire.
- Selecting a wire group highlights the route of the entire
group.

Note: A conflict may occur when using both
Automatic Wire Routing and Automatic Equipotential Routing
commands if the SignalId is valuated during wire routing. |
