Instructions

The following steps give a summary of the basic workflow

  1. create two lines on the thread flank

  2. create circle tangent to both lines with a diameter equal to the wire

  3. repeat step 1 and 2 with the adjacent convolution

  4. create a point at the center of both circles

  5. create a system at this point and skew to line between both circle centers

  6. repeat steps 1 and 2 for the convolution on the opposite side of the thread

  7. measure distance between opposite circles
