Unfortunately, there is not any API support for most of the specialized applications like Cable and Harness, Tube and Pipe, and Frame Generator.

Thank for the answer.
I now try to invent some workaround for the recently discovered limitation: contact pins get lost in simplified 3Dmodels (part buid by deriving geometry of an assembly) - pins are visible as points but not available for selection while attempting to add new wire, cable or other cable & harness objects.
