Ground

A cable ground component.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:Load({FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Cables.cfx]]})

    -- Add a ground to the schematic

cableHarness = project.Contents.CableHarnesses["CableHarness1"]
terminal1 = cableHarness.Connectors["CableConnector2"].Pins["Pin2"].Terminal
ground = cableHarness.CableSchematic.Components:AddGround(terminal1)

    -- Get the terminals that the ground component is connected to

terminalList = cableHarness.CableSchematic.Components["Ground1"].Terminals

Inheritance

The Ground object is derived from the Object object.

Usage locations

The Ground object can be accessed from the following locations:

Property List

Label
The object label. (Read/Write string)
Schematic
The schematic associated with this item. (Read only Schematic)
SchematicLocation
The location of the item on the schematic. (Read only GridLocation)
SchematicRotation
The rotation of the item on the schematic. (Read only SymbolRotationEnum)
Terminals
The schematic terminals on this item. (Read only List of Terminal)
Type
The object type string. (Read only string)

Method List

Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity. (Returns a Object object.)
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step. (Returns a table object.)
RotateSchematicSymbol ()
Rotates the item on the schematic.
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
SetSchematicLocation (location GridLocation)
Sets the location of the item on the schematic.
SetSchematicRotation (rotation SymbolRotationEnum)
Sets the rotation of the item on the schematic.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object. (Returns a table object.)

Method Details

Delete ()
Deletes the entity.
Duplicate ()
Duplicates the entity.
Return
Object
The new (duplicated) entity.
GetProperties ()
Returns a table of properties representing the state of the object. The properties table can be used with the SetProperties method to change multiple properties of the object in one step.
Return
table
A table defining the properties.
RotateSchematicSymbol ()
Rotates the item on the schematic.
SetProperties (properties Object)
Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
Input Parameters
properties(Object)
A table of properties defining the new state of the object.
SetSchematicLocation (location GridLocation)
Sets the location of the item on the schematic.
Input Parameters
location(GridLocation)
The schematic location the item should be moved to.
SetSchematicRotation (rotation SymbolRotationEnum)
Sets the rotation of the item on the schematic.
Input Parameters
rotation(SymbolRotationEnum)
The rotation setting.

Static Function Details

GetDefaultProperties ()
Creates a table containing the default settings to create an object.
Return
table
A table containing the default properties.
