Question

Flexible flat ground straps

I am using the Creo 10 cable and harness application and hoping to find a solution to creating a flat and flexible ground strap. I've seen some electrical modeled assembly drawings that show flexible ground strap concepts, and I'd like to create the same effect. It does not need to show the fancy woven details from the manufacturing process, just a flat and flexible feature that I can assign its path with the "Location" section while connecting at terminal lugs at each end. 

 

Regards, Chas.

    Update: 9/30/2024.

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding Creo's cabling app limitations, in that flat wire profiles (instead of round or ribbon shapes) to represent as ground straps are not possible, and the features I noted from other drawings might have been from modeling with sweep commands?

        Thank you, Catalina. I'm doing my best to keep my question simple. Being in that I'm a rookie in the Creo Cabling App,, it is my hope that simple challenges invoke simple responses and solutions as well.
