/*!
The [`Wire`] trait for defining wires in stem.
A winding of an electrical machines creates a purposefully designed magnetic
field when current passes through it. It is made up of individual wires
(electric conductors) which are arranged in a certain geometric configuration
which shapes the magnetic field. In stem, any type can be used as the wire of
a winding if it implements the [`Wire`] trait. See its docstring for more.

/**
A trait for defining wires for usage in windings.
In stem, a "wire" is a conductor for electric currents with two terminals. This
encompasses both the traditional definition of a wire as a flexible, round bar
of metal and also other conductor variants such as e.g. the massive, rigid bars
found in the cage of asynchronous motors. A winding in stem always consists of
a single wire (implementor of this trait) which provides the calculation
routines for properties such as the resistance, slot filling factor or cross
section. A conductor consisting of multiple individual physical wires can be
represented by abstractions such as
[`StrandedWire`](crate::stranded::StrandedWire)).
Depending on the wire type, the geometric dimensions of the wire might
either be a property of the wire itself (see e.g.
[`RoundWire`](crate::round::RoundWire)) or depend on the geometry of the
magnetic core which holds the corresponding winding. For this reason, the
methods of this trait often require additional information. For example,
[`Wire::effective_conductor_area`] needs both the area covered by the winding
zone and the number of turns within the zone.
Unless explicitly mentioned otherwise, the following assumptions are made for
all wires:
- Steady-state conduction (no displacement current)
- Homogeneous and isotropic material properties
- Idealized geometric shapes
This crate provides multiple predefined wire types which implement this trait:
- [`CastWire`](crate::cast::CastWire): A cast wire used in cage windings.
- [`RectangularWire`](crate::rectangular::RectangularWire): A rectangular bar
e.g. for hair pin windings.
- [`RoundWire`](crate::round::RoundWire): A round wire as used in the vast
majority of electrical machines.
- [`SffWire`](crate::sff::SffWire): An abstract wire described by its slot
fill factor where the exact geometry of the conductor is not defined.
- [`StrandedWire`](crate::stranded::StrandedWire): A WireGroupd wire formed from
multiple individual conductors (e.g. [`RoundWire`](crate::round::RoundWire))
which are connected in parallel.
By implementing this trait for a custom type, user-defined wires can be used in
stem in the same way as those predefined types.
