SpidaCalc
Structural Analysis Software
FEA (Finite Element Analysis) Pole and all Guys, Anchors analyzed All NESC load cases simulated

As comprehensive as you are detailed

Can be used as a screening tool, or Complex scenarios for advanced levels of evaluation

Existing plant evaluation or new designs Load results are stored with the asset data Company utilizations displayed as % of load

DETAILED DATA = FUTURE USE

Design Analysis
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engine
Applied winds rotated 360 to pinpoint potential design problems for each element

Pole
Entire pole length analyzed Flexible pole model Secondary moments (P-Delta) optional

Guys and Anchors

Each evaluated independently
Required Strength compared to Allowable Capacity

Building a Pole Graphic and Tabular Interface Graphic View

Drag & Drop Functionality Developed for use with stylus and tablet

Tabular View
Traditional form-based data entry Linked w/ Graphic View
Items selected in one View highlighted in the other

Results Analysis View

Easy to Interpret Results Visual Indicators
Results for each NESC Load Case Shading shows stresses along the pole

Reporting
Predefined Reports Custom options

Other Tools Pole Framer

Convenient way to create RUS and custom framing which can be saved for later use.

Remediation Tools
Compare designs, add design notes,

Embedded Photos Client Editor

Configuration and Customization of Library

SPIDACALC DEMONSTRATION

MILSOFT Field Engineering Integration Work Uses SpidaCalc Calculation Engine Gives stakers a new, additional perspective
Structural and Clearance Analysis Indirect QC of work Optimization Tools

Minimizes training by keeping stakers in the MILSOFT environment

Staying in the Staking Environment

Stakers will see results based on the design entered into Field Engineering Indicators to direct users to correct designs based on loading results

Representation of Loading Results Arrows showing the wind direction of the load and a resultant force, provide visual cues of pole loading magnitude The circle and loading arrow change to red on failed poles

Graphical Interface Additional data such as Joint Use can be added in the graphical interface. Attachment heights can be adjusted for a more accurate model

Loading Results

Detailed look at the analysis results for the pole, guy, and anchor

Application of Integrated Technology

Enhanced Staking System Modeling & Analysis Critical Infrastructure Review Storm Assessments New Line Optimization

Development Plans
Release of v1.1 planned for November New Features will include:
Improved Analysis View Embedded Map Component Customizable Data Collection Forms Crossarm & Insulator Assemblies GO95 and Custom Load Cases

V1.2 will focus on Enhanced Clearances

Late 2Q 10 Release Date Targeted

Model Generation
