For every span between poles today, you can set a Clearance Requirement category so that minimum ground clearances are tested against certain limits. While the User has the ability to choose the most appropriate category (Roadway, Pedestrian....), the limits were fixed by the standard chosen for the...

Quick Pole now has the ability to paste copied span attachments (power, strands,etc) onto new spans with some level of intelligence. Regardless of how many spans you are pasting attachments into at the same time, Quick Pole will consider the Depth of Setting and pole height of each pole, plus the at...

The ability to set the voltage on Power Conductors was added on Friday in version 6.61.01. In that version, neutral wires were definitively identified and were limited to 50 C testing for Thermal Sag limits. In today's release, this ability was extended a little further with the following enhancemen...

As part of our commitment to offering a quality product, additional capabilities have been tested against known benchmarks and reported. The two areas just populated on our website via http://quickpole.ca/validation.html are the Unguyed Structure tests and the Foundation Tests. In order to describe ...

For each project, you currently select the Structural Analysis Option you want (Linear or Non-linear) and possibly a sub-option (Guying or Attachment Non-linearity). These settings apply to all pole structures in the project. You can now choose to over-ride the project level setting for this and spe...

Additional granular control over "some" of the errors and warnings generated by Quick Pole is now available. To better support different users doing projects under different conditions, three particular warning/errors have been selected initially. Others may be added in the future based on...

As part of our efforts to make Quick Pole suitable for both the US and Canadian marketplace, we have added three new pole species to Quick Pole. Namely: Yellow Alaska Cedar, Eastern White Pine and Radiata Pine (Chilean). We also expanded the pole length selections from (25 - 90ft) to (20 - 100ft). P...

There were two features added recently that you may be interested to know about. 1. Anchor Elevations can now be adjusted. Previously all anchors were assumed to be at the same elevation as the groundline of the connected pole. In the Structure details Dialog you can set the absolute elevation of th...

As part of our continual efforts to make our Pole Analysis results accurate reflect actual pole line behaviors, we have completed the last in a series of planned Nonlinear Analysis techniques for Quick Pole. This last part was called Load Nonlinearity. The term Nonlinear Analysis covers several diff...
