CableCoaxialCrossSection

A coaxial cable cross section.

Example

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

    -- Add a coaxial cross section
    
coaxial = project.Cables.CrossSections:AddCoaxialUsingDimensions(
    project.Media:GetPEC(),
    0.001,
    project.Media["Insulation"],
    0.001,
    project.Cables.Shields["CableShield1"]) 
    
    -- Modify the insulation radius
    
coaxial.CoreInsulatingLayers[1].Thickness = 0.002

Inheritance

The CableCoaxialCrossSection object is derived from the CableCrossSection object.

Method List

Delete ()
Deletes the cable cross section.
Duplicate ()
Duplicate the cable cross section. (Returns a CableCrossSection 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.)
SetProperties (properties table)
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.

Static Function List

GetDefaultProperties ()
