Wind Angle Assumptions improved

Unread postby Sonideft » Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:05 am

The algorithm that calculates the Worst angle to apply Wind Loads to a pole has been updated to create a much better prediction. The wind load from attachments and hardware are taken into account, as well as their height of attachment, to predict the worst effect on the pole. Tensions from attachments are taken into account to ensure that the wind direction chosen is also in the general direction of the resultant forces on the pole, for the maximum impact.

The Mid-Span Separations Report has been modified to better address elevation and attachment height differences between poles.

The Nonlinear analysis routines just went through another thorough review to ensure their accuracy and to improve the calculation performance of this step.
