Add a request to calculate the voltage or current along a cable path.
On the Request tab, in the
Solution requests group, click the Cable probe icon.
Figure 1. The Create cable probe dialog.
Under Probe type, select one of the following:
To view the current along a cable path, select
Current.
To view the voltage along a cable path, select
Voltage.
To view the current and voltage along a cable path, select
Current and voltage.
Specify the probe location using one of the following workflows:
To specify the location as a percentage of the total path length
(beginning from the start connector), under Probe
location, select Percentage along cable
path.
In the Position (%) field, specify the
percentage of the total path length, where “0%” translates to
the start of the cable path.
To specify the location as a specified distance from the start
connector, under Probe location, select
Distance along cable path.
In the Position (distance) field, specify the
distance along the cable path, where a “0” distance translates
to the start of a cable path.
In the Cable pathdrop-down list, select the cable path where the cable probe
is to be placed.
In the Label field, add a unique label for the
request.
Click Create to request the cable probe result and
to close the dialog.
