How to verify the minimum bending radius of a wire or cable in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling

Modified: 15-Apr-2024   


Applies To

  • Creo Elements/Direct Modeling 18.10 to 20.6

Description

  • Report shows a minimum calculated radius value that appears to be wrong
  • Reported min radius is much tighter than it appears on screen
  • Tools  tab > Tools group > Check bend radius > Inquire Bendradius results in output:
"Sections of the wire or cable violate the minimum bend radius.
<selected cable>   Bendradius: <minimum bend radius from cable or wire definition>    MinRad: <minimum or tightest calculated bending value>"
  • Projecting a cable onto a workplane and approximating the minimum radius shows a value different than shown in the Cabling module Inquire Bendradius report
