Wire Spool Parameters
The following is a list of spool parameters for wires. Parameters that have no relation to a diagram, but that pass values which are used in Cabling are marked.
 |
For text values, you cannot use spaces in text strings.
|
|
NAME
|
The name of the spool file (text_string).
Format: NAME text_string
|
|
TYPE
|
The type of spool used. Wires are of type WIRE.
Format: TYPE text_string
|
|
COLOR
|
The color of the wire.
UNDEFINED is the default.
Format: COLOR text_string
|
|
COLOR_CODE
|
The color code of the wire (text_string.)
Format: COLOR_CODE text_string
|
|
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).
|
|
MASS_UNITS
(Cabling)
|
The units of mass for a wire. Used to determine mass properties of 3D wires that reference the diagram. Format: MASS_UNITS text_string Example: MASS_UNITS KG
|
|
MIN_BEND_RADIUS
(Cabling)
|
The minimum bend radius allowed for the wire in harness part length units. Example: MIN_BEND_RADIUS 0.3
|
|
THICKNESS
(Cabling)
|
The diameter of the wire. Example: THICKNESS 0.1
|
|
UNITS
(Cabling)
|
Specifies the units used for measurement of wires. Used by Cabling when referencing a diagram, in conjunction with the DENSITY parameter, to determine the mass of a wire. The default is the units used in a Cabling assembly. Example: UNITS inch
|
|
WIRE_CONSTRUCTION
|
Wire construction. (text_string) Example: WIRE_CONSTRUCTION SINGLE_STRAND
|
|
WIRE_GAUGE
|
Wire gauge (text_string).
Example: WIRE_GAUGE 18AWG
|
|
User Defined
|
Establishes a user-defined parameter, which can be accessed like other spool parameters.
Format: <parameter_name> <value>
Example: MANUFACTURER X_Corp
