Calculation of resistance of a pathSeg (path) object in layout

I want to calculate resistance of a pathSeg (path) object in layout using skill......the path can have bends too......how to do this?

Hi Gaur,

A somewhat simplistic approach would use the cumulative path length and calculate the resistance based on that and the path width. There are existing solutions for summing paths/pathSegs which you could use and then you'd be responsible for the other sections of the code (implementing Pouillet's Law

). This is for one material type, assuming that the material thickness is constant, thus the Area is directly proportional to the width.

Is this what you are looking for?

Regards,

Lawrence.

Thanks for your response....I didn't find the image you attached....Are you taking about R=ρl/A formula?

Dang, I didn't know that was the name of the formula I had been using for years. Today is a good day, I learned something new.

Thanks Lawrence!

I saw the code for length calculation written by you. I want to display the length in a pop up window. How to do this?
