Advanced Settings for Cable Paths
Use advanced settings to specify the sampling point density, mesh refinement close to cable terminals and the cable cross section orientation along the cable path.


Figure 1. The Create Cable Path dialog (Advanced tab).
Sampling Point Density
- Automatic determination
- This option allows CADFEKO to determine the segment lengths.
- Specify maximum separation distance
- This option allows you to specify the segment lengths.
Mesh Size
- Refine mesh close to cable terminals
- This option enables automatic mesh refinement near cable terminals.
Cable Reference Direction
Select the Cable reference direction check box to manually orientate the cable cross section along a cable path. Enter the following fields to change the orientation.
- U, V and N
- Specify the U coordinate, V coordinate and N coordinate at the start of the cable path for the cable reference direction.
- Twist angle
- Enter the angle at the cable path end to twist the cable cross section along the path (in degrees).
The Cable reference direction may not be parallel to the first cable path segment.
Export Cable Parameters
- Export cable parameters to *.out file
- This option exports the cable parameters such as inductance/capacitance matrices and transfer impedance/admittance to the .out file.
