Detailed Sag and Tension Calculations
Precise Non-linear Calculations
Generate results based on code-specified or custom weather cases at initial, final with creep, or final without creep conditions.
Stringing Charts and Wire Reports
Excel-based reporting saves time by eliminating manual calculations and antiquated reporting methods.
Set Limiting Conditions
Set multiple constraints based on sag limits, tension limits, or percent of rated tensile strength.

Communication Bundles and Equipment
Communication Bundles
Easy-to-use bundling for quick definition of communication bundles and overlashing. Users can set a constraint for the complete bundle or explicitly set the initial messenger tension.
Wire-Mounted Equipment Modeling
Model multiple objects, such as 5G antennas or marker balls ,and place them anywhere along the span, precisely calculating the impact on sag and tension.
