Example: Cable Reference Direction - Disconnected from an Installation
Consider an example where a cable is disconnected from the installation / geometry.
The cable cross section orientation is indicated
by:
When using the cable reference direction where the cable is disconnected from the
geometry, the following is required when connecting circuit elements in the schematic
view:- dotted green line: v vector
- blue line: u vector
- solid dark green line: cable reference direction
Note: CADFEKO tries to orientate the
v
vector at the start of the cable path to align
with the cable reference direction automatically using the constraint that the
u
and
v
vector must be perpendicular to the cable path.
- No bonding impedances are allowed in the harness, for example, no termination / interconnect circuit connections to the installation.
- All cable paths should at least have two signals in the outermost problem.
- All cable paths in the harness should have an orientation vector defined (if that path does not have any nearby geometry / installation).
