Cable Spool Parameters
The following is a list of predefined parameters that are unique to cable spools. A cable has a defined number of conductors, and each conductor has its own defining parameters, for example gauge or color, within the spool file. All wire spool parameters are valid for cable spools. Required parameters are shown in bold.
NAME
The name of the spool file.
Format: NAME text_string
TYPE (read only)
Determines a cable spool or wire spool. Cables are of type PREFAB
NUM_CONDUCTORS
The number of conductors present in a cable. The default value is zero.
DENSITY
The linear density of the spool (in mass/unit length). Not used in Diagram, but used in Cabling when referencing a diagram to determine Mass Properties.
INSUL_TYPE
Insulation type. (Text string) NONE is the default.
SHIELD_TYPE
(cable spools only)
The shield type for a cable. (Text string) If you set this parameter, it alters the cable symbol and makes it a dashed line to specify shielding.
CABLE_JACKET_REPORT_NAME
Use the default value DEFAULT, in which case the name of the cable shows in the report table. Any other value is interpreted as plain text. For example, &cable_name has no special meaning.
CABLE_SHIELD_REPORT_NAME
Use this name for the cable symbol if the cable is shielded. The default value is SHIELD.
CABLE_NODE_REPORT_NAME
Use this name for the nodes of a cable symbol. The default value is "-"
SHIELD_LINEAR_RESISTANCE
Specifies linear resistance of the wire's shielding.
OUTER_SHIELD_LINEAR_RESISTANCE
Specifies linear resistance of the wire's outer shielding.
LIN_CAP_TO_ITEM
Specifies linear electric capacity between items.
LIN_CAP_ITEM_TO_SHIELD
Specifies linear electric capacity between items and shield.
LIN_CAP_ASSEM_ITEM_TO_SHIELD
Specifies linear electric capacity between assembly items and shield.
OUTER_SHIELD_THICKNESS
Specifies thickness of the outer shielding of the wire.
