CableBundleCrossSection

A cable bundle cross section.

Example

app = cf.GetApplication()
project = app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/Cables.cfx]])

    -- Add a cable bundle cross section

bundledCables = 
    {
        project.Cables.CrossSections["SingleConductor1"], 
        project.Cables.CrossSections["TwistedPair1"]
    }
bundle = project.Cables.CrossSections:AddBundle(bundledCables)

    -- Apply a sheath around the bundle

properties = bundle:GetProperties()
properties.ShieldType = cf.Enums.CableBundleShieldTypeEnum.SheathInBackgroundMedium
properties.InsulationMedium = project.Media["Insulation"]
bundle:SetProperties(properties)

Inheritance

The CableBundleCrossSection object is derived from the CableCrossSection object.
