Define the attachment heights, orientations, and tensions of all primary conductors, neutral wires, and communication bundles. Add transformers, risers, and streetlights.
The software utilizes a non-linear P-Delta analysis engine. This accurately accounts for secondary stresses caused by the deflection of the pole under heavy loads—a critical factor for flexible wood and steel structures.
If you'd like to narrow down this topic or apply it to a specific workflow, let me know:
The engineer exports a CSV file containing 60 poles, 120 insulators, 3,400 feet of wire, 1 guy assembly, and 3 transformers. This goes straight to the warehouse for staking. O-calc Pro Line Design
O-Calc Pro integrates seamlessly with field data collection tools. It can import data from LiDAR, photogrammetry (like IKE GPS), and GIS databases. Furthermore, it allows for smooth data exchange with PLS-CADD, the leading software for overhead line design. The Line Design Workflow in O-Calc Pro
The Line Design interface enables several methods for building a digital model of a distribution circuit: O-Calc Pro Creating Line Designs
: A specialized tool to run new wires across the full length of a modeled circuit in a single action. Define the attachment heights, orientations, and tensions of
The impact of O-Calc Pro Line Design on the industry has been significant. By streamlining the design process and providing accurate and reliable results, the software has:
With integrated 3D photography analysis, many measurements can be taken remotely, saving time and costs associated with manual pole climbing.
The shift is from "designing on paper" to "managing a living model." This accurately accounts for secondary stresses caused by
Drag and drop crossarms, insulators, and equipment to their exact measured heights.
O-Calc Pro is an advanced desktop application developed by Osmose Utilities Services. It allows engineers, project managers, and utility designers to perform comprehensive structural analysis on individual wood, steel, concrete, and composite poles.
“Fix it. Use O‑Calc. The old line blew every time a squirrel farted. I need a rebuild that won’t bankrupt us.”
