Using catalog is possible when the CATIA Electrical
Library license is available.
The Resolve Wires command
is then added to the toolbar.
A catalog used in Electrical Wire Routing may contain any type of
electrical device, that is to say:
- Wires
- Equipments
- Connectors
- Shells
- etc.
|
|
This task shows you how to get a wire reference from a
catalog.
Note that you can also apply the wire definition onto a
functional signal. |
|
Create some wires.
The specification tree looks like this:
|
|
-
Click
Resolve Wires
.
The Catalog Browser dialog box opens.
-
If needed, navigate using
Browse to select the CatalogOfWires.catalog.
The full path is: online/ewrug_C2/samples/CatalogOfWires.catalog
-
Double-click to open the
Power Wire.
The content is displayed.
-
Select the PN-WAR-1480P wire in the list.
-
Drag and drop the icon onto the Wire1 in the
specification tree.
The wire is updated and renamed with the catalog wire
reference:
- The wire is replaced by the reference from the catalog and
gets its name, color, diameter, etc.
- The wire retains its contextual properties such as length,
link to the functional signal.
|
|
-
When you are satisfied with the result, Close
the Catalog Browser.
|
Applying the Wire
Definition to a Functional Signal
|
|
-
Click Resolve Wires
.
The Catalog Browser dialog box opens.
-
Double-click or Browse to open the Power
Wire catalog.
The catalog is displayed.
-
Select a wire specification (PN-PLE-2318F for
example) in the list, drag and drop it onto the Signal-1
functional signal.
The wires linked to the signal selected (Signal-1)
are replaced by the reference from the catalog:
- The wires get the catalog reference name, color, diameter, etc.
- The wires retain their contextual properties as length, link to
the functional signal, etc.
|
|
-
When you are satisfied with the result, Close
the Catalog Browser.
|
|
The reference wire attributes are listed in a csv
file. This file lets you define a mapping
between chapter keywords and the attributes of the wire component type. The
default column separator used by EWR for csv files is the semi-colon ";".
