PROBLEM:
- RSD does not support using single wire throug multiple ports (i.e. parlallel connection).
USE CASE:
- This type of connection is typical when dealing with systems with large currents.
- Typical example is having a single uncoated wire with say 10 mm diameter, which is connected through several capasitors/batteries/etc ports. For each port the connection is made with screw-clamp joint, so conductor will not be cut at port.
- Second example is a bus bar - which is made say 10x50 cross section copper bar. Then all devices are bolted to busbar without cutting the conductor.
- (see case image below)
SUGGESTED SOLUTION IDEA - PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT REQUEST:
- New countinius conductor fibretype for RSD with caebability to have multiple ports as refrence
- By adding a "waypoint" feature with "flexible wire"- object to RSD one could keep current point-to-point connection definition.
- Additional control of routing of fibre location on shemantics enhance readability
- Use of "waypoint" in cabling enables/forces to route cables through certain named points in Creo. This is sometimes needes due mechanism, minimun distance requirement etc reasons.
- Use of "waypoint" in cabling networks to run cable throug additional ports. Yes -this would mean, that one is deliberately and creatively mixing the port & "waypoint".
