The wire feature contains one or more wires that define the underlying connector geometry. The connector section specifies the type of connection, connector behaviors, and section data. Similar to the manner in which you assign a section to a region of the model in the Property module, you create a connector section assignment to assign a connector section to a region of the model; specifically, you assign a connector section to wires. You also specify local orientations for the endpoints of the wires in the connector section assignment definition.
