ResumoThis article presents the techniques used to create a parametric Python script to generate 3D models of braided coaxial cables. The script is designed to run on free and open-source FreeCAD software. FreeCAD has a Python console that allows the expansion of its functionality. The script was developed with the aim of using the generated 3D models to carry out simulations in electromagnetic simulation software. In the area of Telecommunications, for example, it is of fundamental importance to use coaxial cables that are as efficient as possible. Computer simulations allow the analysis of the behavior of coaxial cables, allowing the most efficient cables to be selected. For this, 3D models that can faithfully represent the electrical and mechanical parameters of cables are needed. However, given its constructive characteristics, modeling the cables in 3D is a difficult task. Thus, it is proposed that the developed script is an alternative to obtain 3D models of braided coaxial cables. The parameters used to generate the 3D model are presented, as well as the results of using the script to generate the 3D model of a coaxial cable, model RG58.
