Abstract:
1. A method for calculating a cable route for a control cable, the method comprising the steps of: determining a cable length of the control cable; determining cable connecting conditions of the control cable, wherein the cable connecting conditions include connecting positions for both ends of the control cable and a direction of a cable axis in each of the connecting positions; obtaining a characteristic of the control cable; and performing a numerical analysis by using the obtained characteristic of the control cable, the determined cable length, and the determined cable connecting conditions, thereby calculating the cable route of the control cable in a case where each of the ends of the control cable are fixed in the determined connecting positions and the determined directions of the cable axis, wherein the obtaining step comprises the steps of obtaining a characteristic of an outer cable and a characteristic of an inner cable separately, and determining the characteristic of the control cable from the obtained characteristics of the outer cable and inner cable.
