Patent ID: 7013247

Claim:
A method of designing forms of a cable clamp and cables using a three-dimensional CAD system, comprising: designating one or more cables to be clamped; calculating a cross-sectional area of each designated cable based on attribute data of each cable; calculating an area necessary for clamping the designated cables based on a result of the cross-sectional area calculation; designating a cable clamp to be used; comparing an inner-diameter area corresponding to an inner diameter of the cable clamp with the area necessary for clamping the cables; designating control points assigned to a portion of each cable affected by the cable clamp, wherein each control point indicates a reference position in a cable routing; adding data of the designated control points of each cable to data of control points of each cable which are assigned to each cable in advance to provide cable routing position data; and generating a complete cable form based on the cable routing position data.
