An update of the Power Path solution for power line design has been released. This blog post outlines the new and updated features introduced in updated version V25.
The POWER PATH team is constantly developing and improving the Power Path® solution. Behind the scenes, our development and support teams work daily to create, improve and research new functionalities, providing customers with new and innovative approaches to power line design. In front of you is What is new document which describes what the latest version brings.
The latest version of the Power Path solution is Power Path V25, build 25.2.08.
Power Path offers numerous benefits for power line design and project development, including:
- 2D design and advanced 3D BIM modeling
- Generation of calculation reports
- Customization of power line components
- Reduction of information-sharing restrictions
- Increased project transparency
- Enhanced project visualization
- Import/export of IFC (BIM) models
- Import/export of SHP (GIS) data
- Integration of online maps and WMS data
- Seamless project sharing with all data for the next phases (construction, operation, maintenance and management)
Power Path solution is not just limited on power line design process, it is a powerful CAD and BIM solution for 2D drafting and 3D BIM modeling in AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry.
Enjoy in exploring and using new functionalities!
🔧 Upgraded and Extended Commands for Power Line Design
- [PP_ADDWEATHERCONDITIONS] and [PP_EDITWEATHERCONDITIONS] – When a positive temperature value is defined, ice load input options are automatically disabled (values are considered 0). When a negative value is entered, users can define ice load parameters manually.
- [PP_CREATESAGTENSIONREPORT] – The report now includes conductor length for each listed temperature, in addition to sag and tension values.
- [PP_CREATEQUANTITYREPORT] – Conductor length is now included in the report alongside other quantity values.
- [PP_CREATESUPPORTREPORT] – The report now calculates reduced forces and moments at the top of the support, providing resultant force and moment values in addition to load components.
- [PP_SETTINGS] – Units for moment have been added to the settings panel.
🛠️ Fixed Commands for Power Line Design
- [PP_CREATESAGTENSIONREPORT] – Fixed issue where the Sag-Tension report displayed “infinite” values under weather conditions without ice load. Critical span values are now correctly calculated.
- [PP_ADDSUPPORTDATA] – Resolved issue with adding attachment points when inserting new supports.
🧱 Fixed Other Functionalities
- Panels Layers and Attachments can now be docked to the left or right side of the interface.
