PowerLineDesigner is a high-performance, multi-threaded desktop application built specifically for transmission and distribution line engineers.
PowerLineDesigner combines visual 2D/3D design, structural engineering, sag-tension analysis, FEM structural analysis, GIS, and terrain modeling into one integrated engineering environment that works alongside the CAD tools you already use.
Design complete overhead line projects in an intuitive visual environment.
Work directly with terrain models, survey data, and point clouds.
Perform industry-standard sag-tension and clearance calculations.
Verify tower performance with integrated finite element analysis.
Work in a modern environment designed specifically for overhead power line engineering.
