public interface Cube

extends Component, IndexPartitionOwner, ValidatableObject, CompilableObject, Extensible, ReconcileSource

A Cube is a logical multi-dimensional design object, which contains a set of measures, and a set of dimensions. Dimensions can be shared across cubes, therefore Cube references dimensions via CubeDimensionUses.
