Electrical : Cable Cores

Use the Create Category window to create a cable core element (CORE). By default, the category name has a CATE extension and the purpose is set to CORE, the functionality is common throughout all disciplines, refer to Multi-Purpose Windows for further information.

The definition of cable core elements is as in other modules, is a task of building up the model data using the references and modelling techniques, refer to Model View for further information. The definition of cores is slightly different to other category types, and includes the additional function shown in the category window.

An option for Cable Core Set is available in the Model References part of the category window.

Cable Core Set (CCORSET) elements are specific to the cable element, and contains Cable Core Elements (CABCOR) which contain information such as number, purpose, description, core tag and core group. Clicking on the CCORSET displays the following sub window:

To create a new cable core, click New, the Cable Core window is automatically populated with a number and type by default.

The following fields are also available:


Number (NUMB)	Name of element is specified or hierarchy description
Purpose (PURP)	Description code word
Description (DESC)	Description of element
Core Tag	Cable core tag
Core Group	Cable core conductor group

The above screenshot shows a populated cable core window which would result in the following database hierarchy:

The SCOM here would typically reference a CCORSET, if more than one cable core set is required, the SCOM can be copied using the normal copy routine in the category grid.

Use the normal copy functionality from main menu for the CCORSET element in the category, then use the category window to re-reference the new CCORSET element.

Once defined all elements can then be used in other catalogue element structures, for example GPARTS, TABGRO and subsequently used in MODEL using appropriate selection techniques.
