[Tips](https://www.osmose.com/o-calc/wiki/tag/tips) The Master Catalog of O-Calc Pro contains all of the components that may be used to generate a model, or a .pplx file. Each of these items has many properties associated with it, which can be found and edited in the Data Entry Panel. While most of these attributes adjust some aspect of how an objec.

This is usually seen in service drops for Secondary or Communications spans. Essentially, a segment of the conduit acts as .

This attachment elevates a span or piece of equipment above the existing height of the pole. Since this is a fairly common practice, a user can model a pole top exten.

Of those components, the loadcase component acts as the driving force behind the calculations that are performed. The ‘Load Cases’ folder contains the safety requirements for the National El.

This technology typically requires a photograph of a pole be taken with a CVT, or Calibrated Visual Target, attached to the pole. This CVT is used in O-Calc to obtain height measurements for various attachments. .

In some cases, accurately modeling all available parameters of a pole can indicate that a pole does not comply with pole loading code requirements so its allowable capacity utilization exceeds 100%. When a pole’s gr.

However, not all items found in the field can be found in the catalog. For this reason, O-Calc Pro has the ability to model items as generic equipment using a blend of shapes with different attributes.

When this happens O-Calc Pro provid.

When a span is added to a model, the Static Tension is calculated using a percentage table that can be set by the user. If then, that span is taken from the pole and placed into the User Catalog, that tensio.

An overloaded pole has a capacity utilization value that exceeds 100%. This means that the load being applied to the pole exceeds the amount that the pole can support. .
