Shielding in 3D

Hi!

 

I've made a shielded (coaxial) cable with an SMA connector at both ends, I'd like to make a 3D harness of it in Creo. Well the main problem is, that if I connect the shield to one of the pins (first picture), it's not exported to the .nwf file. However I can make a splice, and connect that to the pin (second picture, I named the wire SHIELD), with a different wire, while the shield itself wont  be exported, the splice is like a connector with one pin in the exported file. Like this, I have to import another model named as the splice, and place it somewhere in the 3D design for proper connection. In some cases, this would be alright, because usually you need a shield terminator and a different wire, to connect the shield, but in the case of the SMA or a BNC connector you connect it to the housing, without using any separate terminator. Is there a convenient way to solve this problem? By the way, I can export a VeSys 3D wiring file in .xml and the shield is exported to that file, just I cant use it in Creo, where or  how could I use this specific file? (in Creo there's an import option "Mentor Graphics" but it says invalid file for the VeSys 3D xml)

 

Regards,

Lac
