O-calc Pro Line Design ★ Editor's Choice

: Unlike standard analysis that focuses on a single structure, Line Design allows users to create or import a "line" consisting of multiple poles, spans, and equipment.

Developed by , the software has evolved into an industry necessity for three distinct user groups: O-calc Pro Line Design

A Midwest co-op had a 15-mile line using undersized ACSR conductor. Using O-calc Pro, they modeled a replacement with AAAC 636 kcmil. The software revealed that existing poles (40 ft class 3) would see final ice tensions 15% higher than NESC allowed. By increasing the stringing tension from 18% to 22% RBS and reducing span lengths at three river crossings, clearance was maintained without replacing all poles. Savings: $1.2 million. : Unlike standard analysis that focuses on a

Use the Link Spans feature to ensure that tension is transferred correctly. If Pole A moves, Pole B should feel the pull. The software revealed that existing poles (40 ft

If you need a high-render image for a town hall meeting, you will likely export data to a different visualization tool.
