Harness Loom Calculation

$

     Hello all,

 

I have a question- In a harness design, how does Vesys calculate the bundle diameter?

 

In Project Preferences, under Harness, Harness Engineering, there is a "Bundle CSA Multiplication Factor" Where is this used, is it only for checking insulation totals, or does it modified the visible bundle "Width" seen under "Edit Bundle?"

 

I have an issue where I have a single multi-cable and a dozen wires in a bundle. If you add the outer diameter of the multi cable and two of the wires (looks like the perfect flower) I seem to get the exact value that Vesys calculates, which is 12.68mm OD. I now specify a loom on the bundle that has a bore of 12.7mm. If my Bundle CSA Multiplication Factor is 1.3, doesn't this see that 1.68mm * 1.3 = 16.48mm, and running the process "Calculate Insulation Totals" come back that the 12.7mm loom is insufficient? Because it doesn't.  And unfortunately, I have the manufacture telling me the loom doesn't fit as opposed to Vesys! 

 

 

Any help on the matter is appreciated, thanks.
