Associating Obstacles to an Electrical Branch Geometry

Obstacles allows to identify some objects as obstacles to a branch route, and automatically modifies the route design to avoid them .

Important:
  • The command is only supported by branches designed using the FLEX algorithm.
  • Obstacles are always associated to all the branches of an electrical branch geometry. You cannot set an obstacle for one single branch.

  1. In the work area, select the objects that are obstacles to the branch route.
    Selected objets are listed in the Turbo flex obstacles dialog box and are highlighted in the 3D area.
  2. Click OK to validate your selection.
    In the 3D area, the branch is highlighted in red because it is not up-to-date.
  3. From the standard area, click Update .
    • The branch shape is updated taking into account the geometry of the product and respecting the imposed length and bend radius.
    • Selected objects are no longer obstacles to the branch route.
