Error - Layer sizes are out of tolerance!
Running the Cable Ampacity study prompts the error message "Cable <Name>: Layer sizes are out of tolerance!".

When this occur, check the cable's Physical data to ensure that it has the data filled in. It needs to have the Cable diameter, Conductor diameter, and Insulation information at the very least. The standard PTW library have these data filled in at the minimum. This error is more likely to occur with cables that has no associated library or is using a custom cable library. If these data are filled in and the error still shows, verify that the conductor diameter and its layers does not exceed the Cable diameter by a great amount.
