How the calculation works
V12 calculation: widthPass=chairWidth≤deskClearWidth; seatPass=seatHeightMax≤deskClearHeight; armPass=armHeight≤deskClearHeight; limitingClearance=min(deskClearWidth-chairWidth,deskClearHeight-max(seatHeightMax,armHeight)); overallPass=widthPass AND seatPass AND armPass. This is the implementation rule for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Clear width under desk = 70 cm; Clear height under desk = 71 cm; Chair maximum width = 66 cm; Chair seat height at maximum = 52 cm; Armrest height = 68 cm. Result: Fits; Limiting Clearance = 3 cm; Arm Pass = Pass; Seat Pass = Pass.
