1. Structural Accuracy (The "Sag-Tension" Engine) The software’s primary selling point is its finite element analysis (FEA) engine. It does not just draw lines; it calculates the physical relationship between conductors, poles, and hardware.
2. Code Compliance Automation For utility engineers, checking against safety codes is the primary deliverable. O-calc Pro Line Design
3. Comprehensive Hardware Library The software includes a massive library of pole top assemblies, crossarms, insulators, and conductor types.
4. Clearances Analysis O-Calc Pro excels at clearance checking. It visualizes "cones of safety" and sag curves to ensure wires maintain required distances from: For advanced issues: Contact support via the Help
Key output panels:
| Panel | What it shows | |-------|----------------| | Pole Summary | Utilization ratio, max moment, fiber stress | | Sag-Tension Table | Final sag per span at min/max temp | | Clearance Report | Lowest point of conductor above ground, crossing clearances | | Swing Angle | Insulator deflection under wind | | Guy Tension | Load in each guy wire, anchor reaction | | GUI (Graphical User Interface) | Color-coded pole model showing load distribution | and conductor types.
O-Calc Pro is an integrated suite of engineering tools for utility pole loading analysis. The Line Design module is an advanced feature that allows engineers to model entire line segments (multiple spans, poles, and conductors) rather than analyzing single poles in isolation.
