can flexible cables be designed in catia v5?

can flexible cables be designed in catia v5?

(OP)
I would like to design flexible cables in Catia V5. This flexible cable is like a single layer pcb. The cable has several folds when installed in the product.
 Design would involve making the outline drawing of the base and cover layers, this can be easily done in 3d or is sheetmetal design better. Second is to generate the traces that are between the cover and base, control of the trace width and space between traces is critical. Needs to be controlled. I am new to catia, I have previously designed flex cables in autocad and used poly lines and profiles to defing the traces and spaces.

Thanks
