Power Line Systems - Computer Aided Design and Drafting Software

PLS-CADD is an advanced overhead power line design software, recognized as the industry's most comprehensive line design tool. Operable on Microsoft Windows, it features a user-friendly graphical interface that integrates every facet of line design into a unified program, enhancing both efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The software excels in creating sophisticated 3D engineering models that include terrain, structure, and wire data, facilitating real-time updates and instant visual feedback. PLS-CADD's terrain modeling supports various survey data inputs, including total station instruments, airborne lasers, and photogrammetry. Its engineering functions allow for flexible adaptation to user-specific standards, supporting both imperial and metric units. Advanced sag-tension calculations can model high-temperature effects on conductors, while automatic and manual spotting features optimize design costs. Structure modeling is powered by finite element analysis, providing detailed stress assessments and swift design adjustments. The material subsystem supports robust cost estimation and list generation, interfacing seamlessly with existing databases. Its drafting capabilities automate plan and profile sheet creation, enabling dramatic time savings. Trusted by over 1600 organizations across 125 countries, PLS-CADD is the global benchmark in line design software.

Bentley Systems - Enterprise Level PLS Project Manager and Map Viewer

PLS-GRID is the latest software innovation from Power Line Systems, now part of Bentley Systems, specializing in comprehensive digital twin and Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions for overhead transmission, distribution, and communication lines. PLS-GRID leverages decades of data from PLS-CADD, PLS-CADD/Lite, PLS-POLE, and TOWER, enabling users to access critical infrastructure data such as structure usage, line clearances, and thermal line ratings both on desktops and online. With PLS-GRID, manage all your overhead line data centrally, ensuring seamless data distribution across departments and contractors. The server version is built entirely on Web Services for easy integration, with encrypted data both at rest and in transit. The desktop version provides a graphical interface for interacting with project data and detailed reports, while the web platform offers cross-device support and secure infrastructure access control. Designed for enhanced productivity and standardization, PLS-GRID includes robust project lifecycle management and historical insights, aligning with the evolving digital twin landscape.

Powerful and Comprehensive Design Tool

PLS-POLE is a powerful and easy to use Microsoft Windows program for the analysis and design of structures made up of wood, laminated wood, steel, concrete and Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) poles or modular aluminum masts. The program performs design checks of structures under user specified loads and can also calculate maximum allowable wind and weight spans. Virtually any transmission, substation or communications structure can be modeled, including poles, H-frames, A-Frames, and X-Frames. These models are rapidly built from components such as poles, arms, guys, braces, and insulators.
