Calculation method for packing a plurality of wires and calculation apparatus using the same

摘要

A calculation method for packing a plurality of wires constituting a wire harness comprises the steps of: removing a first circle from a plurality of circles; forming a primary inclusive circle as small as possible in which a plurality of second circles are included in the primary inclusive circle so as not to be overlapped with each other; calculating first position information regarding a position of the primary inclusive circle and the second circles included in the primary inclusive circle; forming a final inclusive circle as small as possible in which the first circle is arranged in the primary inclusive circle while the second circles are fixed in the primary inclusive circle in accordance with the position information such that the first circle and the second circles are not overlapped with each other; calculating and outputting second position information regarding a position of the final inclusive circle.
