Types of Wires
Updated
AN-SOF has different types of wires. Each wire type has its own geometrical parameters, attributes and materials that can be set in a specific Draw dialog box. This dialog box allows us drawing a new wire in the workspace.
Choosing Draw in the main menu shows the following commands:
- Line: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing a linear or straight wire.
- Arc: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing an arc .
- Circle: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing a circular loop.
- Helix: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing a helix or helical wire.
- Quadratic: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing a quadratic wire.
- Archimedean Spiral: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing an Archimedean spiral.
- Logarithmic Spiral: Displays the Draw dialog box for drawing a logarithmic spiral.
Menu Options
The commands to draw wires can be accessed from three menus:
- Main menu > Draw.
- Popup menu by right clicking on the workspace.
- Main menu > View > Drawing Panel.
