Hi all,

I am modeling a semi-rigid coax cable. It consists of three layers. The break down of the material is copper core, solid PTFE dielectric, silver plated copper sleave. Is there a simpler way to model this material, rather than making a solid model of each layer? I have about nine cables to do with various bend configurations. I was hoping there existed something like a layered pipe element, but I don't see that.
