• Part Creation Tools (Extrude, Revolve): Use Extrude and Revolve to transform 2D sketches into 3D parts. These basic tools help create a variety of solid shapes and forms for any design.
• Datum Plane and Shell: Define part features with Datum Plane, essential for positioning and feature creation. Shell hollowing tool allows you to thin out parts, optimizing material usage.
• Mirror, Round, and Chamfer: Symmetrically duplicate features with Mirror. Round softens edges for improved design flow, while Chamfer adds beveled edges to corners for aesthetics and safety.
• Hole and Sweep Tools: Use the Hole tool to create precise openings for fasteners or fittings. Sweep allows you to create complex, curved shapes by sweeping a profile along a path.
• Swept Blend and Pattern Tools: For advanced shape creation, use Swept Blend to form complex geometries along multiple paths. Apply Pattern to duplicate features, utilizing Direction, Axis, Curve, and Point to control the pattern’s layout and alignment.
• Axis and Point Creation: Use Axis to create reference lines for rotational or symmetric features, and Point for placing precise reference locations or anchors in your design.
• Data Management (Get Data Import & Tree Filter): Streamline design processes with Get Data Import to bring in external data. Tree Filter helps manage and navigate complex assemblies or parts efficiently.
• Annotation, Reference, and Parameters: Use Annotate to add dimensions and notes to your designs. The Reference Viewer tracks dependencies, while Parameters allow for controlling and adjusting part features dynamically.
• Shrink Wrap and Investigation Tools: Simplify your models with Shrink Wrap, creating a lightweight, simplified version for easier sharing. Use Investigate Tools to explore and analyze design performance and integrity.

• Adding Components to Assembly:
  Use the Add Component tool to bring individual parts into the assembly. This allows you to place parts in the design space and begin the assembly process.
• Applying Constraints:
  To define relationships between components, apply various Constraints such as:

Default: The basic constraint to attach parts.

Coincident: Aligns two faces or edges to be coincident (in the same plane).

Distance: Sets a specific distance between two components.

Parallel: Ensures two parts or faces are parallel to each other.

Normal: Aligns parts at a perpendicular angle.

• Creating Sub-Assemblies:
  Use Create Sub-Assembly to group components into smaller, manageable units within the main assembly. This helps in organizing the design and improves workflow by treating subassemblies as single components.

• Walls in Sheet Metal:

Extrude: Create walls by extruding a 2D profile in sheet metal.

Revolve: Create a wall by revolving a profile around an axis.

Boundary Blend: Use boundary blending to form smooth transitions between different walls.

Attached Walls: Define walls that are attached to other existing components or walls.

• Sheet Metal Wall Types:

Flat: Create flat walls or surfaces in sheet metal designs.

Flange: Add flanged edges to walls for better attachment or bending.

Extend: Extend the length of existing walls or surfaces.

Twist: Apply twisting motion to walls for forming complex sheet metal shapes.

• Converting Part into Sheet Metal:
  Use the Convert Part into Sheet Metal tool to convert a regular part into a sheet metal part, enabling the use of specific sheet metal tools.
• Corner Relief:
  Apply Corner Relief to avoid sharp angles in corners, which can make the sheet metal part difficult to manufacture.
• Edge Bend:
  Use the Edge Bend tool to create bends on the edges of the sheet metal part for further shaping and flexibility.

• Basic Introduction: Overview of wire harnessing, its importance, and applications in industries like automotive.
• Harness Process in Industry: Creation of the library for wire harnesses, assembly creation, harness creation, manufacturing creation, flat creation, and drawing creation for wire harnesses and components.

• Input Data: Usage of schematic files (XML) and the master assembly of automotive models as input data for wire harnessing.
• Types of Routing: Two types of routing – Manual routing and Auto routing to define the wire paths in the harness assembly.

• Components for Assembly Creation: Use of connectors, splices, fir trees, labels, zip ties, and loom protection for creating wire harness assemblies.
• Harness Creation: Activating commands from the ribbon for creating spools, wires, cables, and ribbons necessary for harness assembly.
• Spool Creation: Process of spool creation for organizing and grouping wires in the harness assembly.

• Designation of Connectors: Creation of coordinates, entry ports, and axis on connectors, along with verifying cable parameters for accurate wiring.
• Network Creation: Establishing networks for connectors, inserting and removing locations, creating continuous networks, branching out, and modifying tangency. Includes hiding/unhiding networks and identifying discontinuous networks.

• Routing the Harness: Routing wires, cables, and bundles, and rerouting them as needed. Attaching all required accessories to the harness, cross-checking connectors, and calculating connector masses.
• Assembly Integration: Recovering missed connectors, replacing connectors in assembly, creating map keys, and resolving wire failures. Includes moving components to HRN and ensuring all parts are correctly placed.

• MFG/Flat Creation: Creation of flat views from 3D harness assemblies, setting start points in the layout, and developing all flat views necessary for manufacturing.
• Error Handling in Flat Views: Identifying and resolving errors in flat view creation and making adjustments to components as needed.

Modifying Flat Views: Redefining components, modifying segment dimensions such as angles and lengths, and regenerating flat views automatically and manually. Finalizing the flat layout for production use.

• Drawing Creation: Creating general views, custom scale views, and annotations for harness drawings. This includes balloon creation, BOM generation, revision table creation, and drawing format preparation.
• Finalizing the Drawing: Creating partial views, isometric views, symbol creation for connectors, and importing the wire list into the drawing.
• Cross-Section View Creation: Creation of cross-section views for better clarity in harness designs.

• Trainer feedback on your your work throughout the course.
• Submission of a wire harness project.
• Professional  Creo wire harness online exam (50% passing score required).
• Creo wire harness certification 🎓
