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. Other considerations
    • Utility standard compliance/support
      • 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)
    • Interoperability with other software
      • 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.
