AbstractThis article discusses on how to test your own algorithm to compute the diameter and the minimum bend radius of a bundle segment according to the wires contained in it. |

To visualize the diameter of the bundle segment called "Bundle Segment3", you have to select it and make appear the Properties panel with the contextual menu. The diameter is equal to 5.831 mm.
To see the wires passing through the selected bundle segment, you can use the contextual menu as follows :
The following panel is displayed :
This panel shows that the wire called "Signal BWire1" is contained in the bundle segment called "Bundle Segment3.1".
The diameter of the wire can be displayed in the Properties panel. It is equal to 4 mm.

To modify the diameter of the wire, you can modify the diameter value in the Properties panel, as shown in the following picture :
In our example, new diameter of the wire is set to 5 mm.
By pressing successively the 'Apply' and the 'OK' buttons, the icon 'Update All' is set to active, as shown in the following picture :
By pressing the 'Update All' button, the diameter of the bundle segment is changed.

The new diameter of the bundle segment (equal to 10 mm) can be displayed in the Properties panel, as shown in the following picture :
