Question

Pro/Cabling cable behavior capabilities

I was wondering if there's a way for Pro/Cabling to know the properties of the materials of the cables in a bundle for it to know the cable behavior when other parts are moved. For example: If I have a cable routed from one wall to the other and I decide to move one of the walls in, the cable will of course bend a certain way and I know that Pro/Cable will show it but how accurate would it be and would it be able to model how would it trouly bend in a situation like this?

Thanks a lot!

I like Piping better than the Pro/Cabling module. You can define as many points as you want to make the route go where you want it to go. You can make a solid pipe if you want to show a wire.
