Cable modeling ============== The ``Cable Modeling`` module includes several methods to work with the Cable Modeling HFSS Beta feature: * ``create_cable`` to create all available types of cables: bundle, straight wire and twisted pair. * ``update_cable_properties`` to update all cables properties for all cable types. * ``update_shielding`` to update only the shielding jacket type for bundle cable. * ``remove_cables`` to remove cables. * ``add_cable_to_bundle`` to add a cable or a list of cables to a bundle. * ``create_clock_source`` to create a clock source. * ``update_clock_source`` to update a clock source. * ``remove_source`` to remove a source. * ``remove_all_sources`` to remove all sources. * ``create_pwl_source`` to create a pwl source. * ``create_pwl_source_from_file`` to create a pwl source from file. * ``update_pwl_source`` to update a pwl source. * ``create_cable_harness`` to create a cable harness.
