Yes, you can visit the Bentley Support Portal to access SPIDA’s product community page, search the knowledge base, check for outages, and submit a request for assistance.

You can learn SPIDAsilk through free online resources, including user manuals, how‑to guides, and recorded webinars and training videos.

You need to simply purchase a subscription for SPIDAsilk. Once the order is fulfilled, you will need to install SPIDAsilk on your computer and activate your subscription. SPIDAsilk includes the SPIDA Client Editor which, with proper permissions, gives you the ability open and edit available SPIDA client files.

SPIDAsilk is used for conducting precise sag and tension analysis on electrical transmission, distribution conductors, and telecommunication bundles. It performs robust nonlinear calculations, enabling engineers to accurately model and evaluate various scenarios, including the impact of communication bundles and attached equipment like 5G antennas. The application can be used as standalone or with our SPIDAcalc structure analysis software. 

Sag and tension analysis calculates how a suspended cable or conductor behaves between supports. It determines how much the line will sag and the tension forces at the attachment points under varying conditions such as span length, loading, and temperature. This analysis helps ensure proper clearances, structural safety, and reliable system performance.
