PLS-CADD is a transmission line design software developed by Power Line Systems, primarily used for route selection, terrain modeling, engineering calculations, and drawing generation for power lines. The software supports 3D engineering models, terrain simulation, engineering standards, and calculations, and can handle transmission line design standards from over 125 countries.
Core Features
3D Engineering Models
Supports complex modeling of terrain, towers, and conductors/ground wires, enabling the generation of cross-sectional views, plan views, and plan-cross-sectional views from various perspectives. When the model is updated, all related views are automatically synchronized, reducing repetitive design work.
Terrain Simulation
Supports various measurement technologies such as total stations, airborne lasers, and photogrammetry, and can import planar and cross-sectional coordinate system data. Through contour lines, color rendering, and aerial photo overlay, it achieves three-dimensional terrain visualization.
Engineering Standards and Calculations
Supports automatic and manual tower positioning, with automatic positioning saving approximately 10% in design costs. Includes engineering standards for over 125 countries, covering meteorological conditions such as wind, ice, and temperature, with support for imperial/metric unit conversion. 14
Collaborative Design
Integrates workflows for survey engineers, electrical engineers, and structural engineers, enabling seamless information sharing. Supports sag-tension calculations, clearance verification, electromagnetic field calculations, and more, generating material lists and profile diagrams.
Application Scenarios
New Line Design: Full-process support from route selection to construction drawing generation.
Operational Assessment: Evaluate the safety and electromagnetic interference risks of existing lines.
International Projects: Supports multiple national standards (e.g., US, Canada, Brazil, etc.), widely used by power companies and international organizations.
