WireGrouping
Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0
A WireGrouping is the definition of a multi core wire in its usage. The elements of a WireGrouping are well defined wires (e.g. with a part number). The grouping itself is only created in its concrete usage. The most common use case is the individual definition of unshielded twisted pair wires without creating the full combinatorics of every possible core / insulation / twist combination in a part master data system (and by this creating part numbers for all of them). However, there are other use cases as well.
A WireGrouping groups the relatedWireElementReferences on an equal level containedWireGroupings are on a lower level. So, in order to create something like a shielded twisted pair, one WireGrouping "A" that references two WireElementReferences is required to represent the twisted pair and another WireGrouping "B" that contains WireGrouping "A" and references the "shield wire element".
The referenced WireGroupSpecification defines the handling of the WireGrouping during its assembly (e.g. twist).
