Calculation method
String lengths per support (m)
Straight-line hypot(horizontal,vertical)+2 attachment allowance.
Total string (m)
Sum supplied supports.
Spools in a feasible cut plan
First-fit decreasing bin packing of continuous support lengths into spool lengths; no segment may exceed a spool. Feasible count, not guaranteed minimum.
Symbols and units
- a
- Plant supports [horizontal run m,vertical rise m]
- b
- Attachment allowance per end (m)
- c
- String spool length (m)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Plant positions-heights, attachment allowance. Returns String lengths and spool quantity. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Attachment allowance per end (m): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. String spool length (m): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
