    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.
