Quick Pole Verification
Geometric Nonlinearity / Other Effects
The following are our tests of Quick Pole:
Use our Quick Pole project files to help validate the results.
These results show a couple specific key points:
- The stronger class of pole handles more of the load itself (stiffer poles deflect less).
- While the actual load was applied in the X direction and the guy/anchor was oriented in the Z direction (90 degrees out of line), the guy is able to take some of the load because it's model is updated to be not exactly in the Z direction as the pole deflects. If Quick Pole did not implement guying Nonlinearity, the guy loads shown above would have been zero.
