The runner balance calculation is set to maintain the same geometry aspect ratio of runner dimensions when balancing runners.
For example, if the ratio of end diameters for a tapered runner is 2:1, the program will try to maintain this ratio for the balanced runner, as shown in the following diagram.
Similarly, the program will try to maintain the ratio of the sides for rectangular runners, as shown in the following diagram. Exceptions to this rule occur when you have specified standard runner sizes.
