Using the line design module, the user establishes the physical path of the utility corridor. This can be built manually or imported via GIS shapefiles, Google Earth KML/KMZ files, or LiDAR data points. The software links the structures sequentially (e.g., Pole 1 to Pole 2 to Pole 3), capturing precise span distances and bearing angles. Step 3: Equipment and Attachment Modeling
Adjusting for specific NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) loading districts (Light, Medium, or Heavy). 2. Structural Loading Analysis O-calc Pro Line Design
O-Calc Pro comes pre-loaded with extensive catalog libraries containing specifications for standard utility hardware. This includes: Crossarms and insulators Transformers, capacitors, and switchgear Telecommunication cables (fiber optic, coaxial, copper) Strand wires, guy wires, and anchors
Before you can analyze a pole, you have to build it. O-Calc Pro allows designers to create a "Digital Twin" of a utility structure. This includes: Step 3: Equipment and Attachment Modeling Adjusting for
A key enhancement is the integration of multithreading for pole calculations within a line. This non-blocking architecture allows users to continue modeling, navigating, or editing the line design in the user interface while the engine performs the analysis of the entire circuit in the background. This optimization significantly reduces idle time, keeping the workflow fluid and productive.
A specialized wizard helps users rapidly build new line models, enabling the creation of up to 40+ poles with ease. 2. Streamlined Make-Ready Engineering developed by Osmose
The Line Design interface enables several methods for building a digital model of a distribution circuit: O-Calc Pro Creating Line Designs
Enter , developed by Osmose , the industry-standard software for structural analysis of utility poles that has evolved into a comprehensive line design and management platform. What is O-Calc Pro Line Design?
