This dialog is accessed from the Runner Balance Constraints button of the Runners Properties dialog.
This dialog is used to specify constraints on the cross-sectional dimension(s) of the default or selected runner section. The Runner Balance analysis takes these constraints into account when determining balanced dimensions for the runner system.
Dialog elements
- Runner Balance constraints
- Specify dimensional constraints for the diameter of the selected circular runner element(s).
The runner balance analysis will respect the constraint(s) you have specified when attempting to balance the runner system. The following settings are available:
- Fixed - Select this option if you do not want the runner balance analysis to change the diameter.
- Free - Select this option if you do not want to specify any constraints for the diameter.
- Range - Select this option if you want to specify a minimum value, maximum value, or both for the diameter.
