Great video! One question: are you assuming the conductor width and via diameter and checking which conductor current values end up being output or is there some calculation behind your choice of width please? Thanks :)
Indeed, it is an iterative process where I manually alter these values in the calculator tool to see how closely they match up to my needs. When I have found a value that works, I will typically include some extra margin (20%). Hope this answers your question?
