Where We Are Going…
- Established in 2007- Provide Automated Software Solutions - Electric and Telecommunications industries- Reinvention of the Joint Use industry- Leverages services provides by IJUS
Spida™• Spida™
– Development currently concentrateson two areas:
• SpidaMin – More in Wednesday’s presentation– Infrastructure Management and Administration– Joint Use Process Automation– Intelligent Data
• SpidaCalc– Processor– Structural and Clearance Analysis– Data Collection– Interrogation and Design Tools
Project Management
Administration Field Engineering Construction Post Inspections
Stake Engineer Close Out
Task Specific Process Automation
DETAILED DATA = FUTURE USE
• Structural Analysis Software– FEA (Finite Element Analysis) – Pole and all Guys, Anchors analyzed – All NESC load cases simulated
• As comprehensive as you are detailed– Can be used as a screening tool, or– Complex scenarios for advanced levels of
evaluation• Existing plant evaluation or new designs• Load results are stored with the asset data• Company utilizations displayed as % of load
SpidaCalc
Design Analysis• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Engine
– Applied winds rotated 360 to pinpoint potential design problems for each element
• Pole– Entire pole length analyzed– Flexible pole model– Secondary moments (P-Delta) optional
• Guys and Anchors– Each evaluated independently
• Required Strength compared to Allowable Capacity
Building a Pole
• Graphic and Tabular Interface• Graphic View
– Drag & Drop Functionality– Developed for use with stylus and tablet
• Tabular View– Traditional “form-based” data entry– Linked w/ Graphic View
• Items selected in one View highlighted in the other
Results
• Analysis View– Easy to Interpret Results– Visual Indicators
• Results for each NESC Load Case• Shading shows stresses along the pole
• Reporting– Predefined Reports– Custom options
Other Tools
• Pole Framer– Convenient way to create RUS and custom framing
which can be saved for later use.• Remediation Tools
– Compare designs, add design notes, …• Embedded Photos• Client Editor
– Configuration and Customization of Library
SPIDACALCDEMONSTRATION
MILSOFT Field Engineering Integration Work
• Uses SpidaCalc Calculation “Engine”• Gives stakers a new, additional perspective
– Structural and Clearance Analysis– Indirect QC of work– Optimization Tools
• Minimizes training by keeping stakers in the MILSOFT environment
Staying in the Staking Environment
Stakers will see results based on the design entered into Field Engineering
Indicators to direct users to correct designs based on loading results
Representation of Loading Results
Arrows showing the wind direction of the load and a resultant force, provide visual cues of pole loading magnitude
The circle and loading arrow change to red on failed poles
Graphical Interface
Additional data such as Joint Use can be added in the graphical interface.
Attachment heights can be adjusted for a more accurate model
Loading Results
Detailed look at the analysis results for the pole, guy, and anchor
Application of Integrated Technology
• Enhanced Staking
• System Modeling & Analysis
• Critical Infrastructure Review
• Storm Assessments
• New Line Optimization
• …
Development Plans
• Release of v1.1 planned for November• New Features will include:
– Improved Analysis View– Embedded Map Component– Customizable Data Collection Forms– Crossarm & Insulator Assemblies– GO95 and Custom Load Cases
• V1.2 will focus on Enhanced Clearances– Late 2Q ‘10 Release Date Targeted
Model Generation
