You
can create a route part if the bend radius of the cable, core, or wire is less than the
minimum bend radius.
You can define the minimum bend radius and the bend factor for cables and wires
in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics. The Bend Radius
(Diameter x Bend Radius Factor) defines the minimum bend radius. The
Bend radius (x Diameter) field is renamed to
Bend Radius Factor.
In an electrical segment, the software considers the individual minimum bend
radius for the cable and core.
To define the bend radius and bend factor:
- For wires, right-click a wire in schematic view, click , and enter a value for Bend Radius
Factor and Bend Radius (Diameter x
Bend Radius Factor).
- For cables, right-click a cable in schematic view, click Cable properties, click the cable name, and
enter a value for Bend Radius Factor and
Bend Radius (Diameter x Bend Radius
Factor).
The Bend Radius Factor and Bend Radius (Diameter x Bend Radius Factor) are
interdependent. If you enter the value in one field, the value in the other field
updates correspondingly.
