Cable bend radius analysis

[Chris3]

I can create an idea for this if it isn't already possible. I don't do a lot of cabling so maybe it is.

Is it possible to do an analysis to figure out where in your harness your bend radii are the tightest? I tried changing my bend radii and the cable fails but there is no way for me to easily see where in the cable it is failing.

Ideally there would be a color plot showing the cable curve and color varying with the tightness of the bend.

Hello, 

Yes, that’s certainly possible, and we have code written to do so. We can pull whatever information you need out of a harness. Drop me a line at Phil.clukies@cadactive.com to learn more.
