O-Calc^® Pro

This article outlines some of the basic concepts behind how Tensions Types and Sag are accounted for in O-Calc Pro. The full primer on this topic is linked to this article.

Perhaps one of the most under-utilized features in O-Calc Pro is the ability to add Notes to an item. In addition to components that utilize pole capacity, it is also possible to add elements to the inventory list that do not contribute to the loading on the pole at all. One such item is a note.

This report provides more detailed information regarding the forces being applied to the pole in relation to wine pressure as dictated by the loadcase, and the worst wind direction which is determined during modeling of a structure.

When utilizing the Google Earth Plugin in O-Calc Pro, it is possible to plot the location of a structure or render the structure in 3D in Google Earth. The first step towards doing this would be to ensure that the google earth plugin is enabled. This can be checked by opening O-Calc and navigating .

Initially, O-Calc Pro has a Master Catalog and a User Catalog available to the user. The User catalog allows the user to store poles, assemblies and individual components that are used frequently. Any items added to the User catalog should be saved automatically and available every time the applica.

In O-Calc Pro, the capacity display window indicates how much of a pole’s capacity is being utilized by the spans, equipment, and other attachments on the structure. By default, the capacity meter remains in the green as long as the capacity being utilized is 80% or less. Then between 80-90%, the c.

There are a number of ways to view capacity utilization in O-Calc Pro. Within the Capacity Display Window, the user may view the capacity as a percentage or as a numeric display that includes bending moment values for the pole. This window displays the bending moment for the entire pole. However, i.

A number of attributes exist within O-Calc Pro that allow the user to model a structure more accurately. In regards to the pole itself, all of the attributes that can be modified are found in the data entry window. This window displays a pole’s attributes when a pole is selected in the inventory wi.

In the O-Calc Master catalog, there are a variety of span types of varying sizes and specifications. However, there may be a situation in which a wire is not included in this catalog. To accurately model a cable that is not included in a catalog, it is possible to adjust a few key attributes of an .
