The invention belongs to an aircraft wire harness
design technology, and relates to a digital and automatic
collaborative design simulation method for aircraft wire harnesses based on Capal and CATIA. According to the method, an existing
boundary data model is utilized, electrical parts are installed on CATIA
software, and wiring harness arrangement environment conditions are created; creating a three-dimensional wire harness model in the CATIA
software; establishing a Capal graphic symbol
library and a wire harness part
library; creating an aircraft
electrical wiring diagram on the Capital
software by using the graphic symbol
library and the wiring harness part library file; in combination with a CATIA three-dimensional wiring harness model,
interactive design is carried out with flight Capital software, and an aircraft two-dimensional
topological graph is formed; the sectional area of the wire harness is automatically calculated through CATIA software, and an aircraft
simulation three-dimensional wire harness is formed; and combining the aircraft
simulation three-dimensional wiring harness with the aircraft
topological graph and the aircraft wiring harness two-dimensional
graph design to form an aircraft two-dimensional wiring harness chart diagram. According to the invention,
database management
informatization, three-dimensional wiring harness design digitalization, two-dimensional electrical
system principle design and three-dimensional
electrical wiring harness model
interaction design automation are realized.
