The objectives of this framework is to assess:

  1. National Code compliance
    1. This objective is the largest with a few different dimensions.
      1. Weather Loads calculation
      2. Sags & Tensions
      3. Structural analysis
        1. Single pole structure
        2. Linear, 
        3. Nonlinear,
        4. Geometric and Load Non-linearity
      4. Multiple single pole structures
        1. Geometric and Load Non-linearity
      5. Clause by clause review
  1. Utility standard compliance/support
    1. This objective is about support for particular pole owner or utility standards. For instance, it is quite common for a utility to require higher standards than those found in the national code (e.g highway clearances)
  2. Interoperability with other software
    1. This objective is important for users to know, as the Line Design software is an important piece of the user's overall Line Design Process.
