The only property that a cable requires is the cross section area. So any property type which can enable the program to obtain the area would be acceptable. A few examples are : As a PRISmatic section with the diameter specified using the term YD : MEMBER PROPERTY 1 PRIS YD 1.0 or As a PRISmatic section with the Area specified using the term AX MEMBER PROPERTY 1 PRIS AX 0.35 or As a PIPE section with the outer and inner diameters specified using the terms OD & ID MEMBER PROPERTY 1 TA ST PIPE OD 1.1 ID 0.0 If you wish to specify it as a user defined section using a user table, that would be acceptable too.
