PLS CADD FILE PREPARATION

SEQUENCES OF PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW


PART - 1

TERRAIN MODELLING
FIRST TO CREATE FILE

CHOOSE THE DESTINATION FOLDER ON YOUR PC AND DON’T FORGET TO ENTER FILE EXTENSION ‘.XYZ’
OR ‘.PFL’
SET FILE PREFERENCES
TO DEFINE FEATURE CODES
ENTER DESIRED VALUES AS SHOWN IN FIGURE
ALSO YOU CAN SET POINT PARAMETERS ACCORDING
TO YOUR REQUIREMENT
STANDARD SURVEY DATA FILE FORMAT FOR XYZ FILE

COPY ALL FIELD DATA TO NOTE-PAD AND SAVE AS ‘.txt’ FILE


NOW TO IMPORT SURVEY DATA FOR ‘.XYZ’ FILE

SELECT ‘.txt’ FILE IN WHICH YOU HAVE PASTE SURVEY DATA


SETTING OF SURVEY DATA FIELDS BY IMPORT FORMAT

SIMILAR TO SHOWN SET FIELDS FOR ALL THE PARAMERS i.e. NORTHING, ELEVATION, F-CODE
etc. and click OK.
STANDARD SURVEY DATA FILE FORMAT FOR PFL FILE

COPY ALL FIELD DATA TO NOTE-PAD AND SAVE AS ‘.txt’ FILE


NOW TO IMPORT SURVEY DATA FOR ‘.PFL’ FILE

SELECT ‘.txt’ FILE IN WHICH YOU HAVE PASTE SURVEY DATA


SETTING OF SURVEY DATA FIELDS BY IMPORT FORMAT

SIMILAR TO SHOWN SET FIELDS FOR ALL THE PARAMERS i.e. OFFSET, ELEVATION, F-CODE etc. and click
OK.
AFTER INPUT OF TERRAIN DATA PLAN VIEW SEEMS LIKE
TO MAKE ALL THE POINTS IN PROPER ROUTE ALIGNMENT

REFER PLSCADD
MANUAL FOR THESE
OPTIONS

SELECT THE ANGLE POINT LOCATION FOR THE ALIGNMENT


AFTER JOINING POINTS IN TO PROPER ALIGNMENT
SET TERRAIN WIDTH FOR PROJECT

TOTAL CORRIDOR

AREA CONSIDER FOR


GROUND PROFILE
YOU CAN NOW SEE THE PROFILE VIEW OF PROJECT

CLEARANCE LINE

GROUND LINE
NOW TO ASSIGN PLAN VIEW AUTOCAD FILE WITH PROJECT
SELECT .DXF PLAN-VIEW FILE WHICH IS GEOREFERENCED
WITH DATA AND ATTACH IN PLAN VIEW.
PART - 2

DESIGN CRITERIA INPUT


TO START DESIGN CRITERIA INPUT, EITHER YOU ARE HAVING SAG
TENSION CALCULATION READY WITH YOU OR HAVING WEATHER
CASES AND LIMITING DESIGN CONDITIONS FOR BOTH CABLE
AND STRUCTURE

This is for 0 degree max. wind


TO DEFINE WEATHER CASES
FOR CREEP-STRETCH CRITERIA OF CABLE
FOR BIMETALLIC CONDUCTOR METAL
CABLE TENSION CRITERIA FOR TENSION RESTRICTION IN CABLES

ENTER ALLOWABLE TENSION VALUES FOR DIFFERENT CABLES


AUTOMATIC SAGGING CRITERIA FOR TENSION RESTRICTION ON
STRUCTURES

ENTER ALLOWABLE TENSION VALUES FOR DIFFERENT CABLE CONNECTIONS ON STRUCTURE


MAXIMUM TENSION CRITERIA

INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL METHOD USE 3D ACTUAL GEOMETRY METHOD FOR MAXIMUM TENSION
CALCULATION
WEIGHT SPAN MODEL SELECTION

SELECT EXACT METHOD INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL ARC LENGTH


WEATHER CONDITION SELECTION FOR STRUCTURE STRENGTH
CHECK
WEATHER CASE SELECTION FOR CLEARANCE SELECTION

USE WEATHER CONDITION WITH MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE


FOR PHASE CLEARANCE
WEATHER CASE SELECTION FOR INSULATOR SWING CHECKING

AT LEAST ONE WEATHER CONDITION WITH WIND


WEATHER CONDITION SELECTION FOR WIND-WEIGHT SPAN
REPORT

CONDITIONS SHOULD BE OF STILL AIR


DEFAULT WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR SECTION TABLE
OVERALL SUMMARY OF DESIGN CRITERIA ENTERED
NOW TO PREPARE CABLE FILE
NON-LINEAR CABLE MODEL

PROVIDED BY THE CABLE


MANUFACTURER
SIMPLE LINEAR CABLE MODEL

TEMPERATURE SHIFT VALUE ENTERED


FOR OVER TENSIONING
IMPROVED LINEAR CABLE MODEL

TEMPERATURE SHIFT VALUE FOR


OVER TENSIONING
TENSION RESTRICTION
TO PREPARE STRUCTURE FILE
BEFORE STARTING THE PREPARATION OF STRUCTURE FILE YOU SHOULD HAVE A COMPLETE
INFORMATION OF STRUCTURE’S ERRECTABLE BODY & LEG EXTENSION COMBINATIONS AS WELL AS
DESIGN WIND SPAN, WEIGHT SPAN, PERMISSIBLE DEVIATION ANGLE AND PROPERTIES OF INSULATOR
ASSEMBLY.

ALSO YOU ARE HAVING IDEA OF PLS-CADD STRUCTURE FILE TERMINOLOGY.

HERE SET MEANS Nos. OF CABLE CONNECTION ON


STRUCTURE i.e. OPGW, Conductor & Earth wire.

PHASE MEANS SEPARATE CONNECTION OF


PARTICULAR CABLE.

FOR EXAMPLE SINGLE CIRCUIT LINE HAVING 3


PHASES FOR CONDUCTOR SET.

SAME WAY DOUBLE CIRCUIT LINE HAVING 3 PHASES


FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT CONDUCTOR SET.
NOW GO TO STRUCTURE MENU

SELECT DESTINATION FOLDER AND GIVE FILE


NAME AS PER THE PROPER COMBINATION
STRUCTUR FILE INPUT PARAMETERS
NOW TO SPECIFY STRUCTURE STRENGTH PARAMETERS
NOW TO INPUT MATERIAL AND PART LIST
MULTIPLE SAVE AND SAVE AS OPTION
PART - 3

TOWER SPOTTING
FOR MANUAL TOWER SPOTTING

YOU CAN RANDOMLY PUT THE STRUCTURE WHERE YOU


WANT
FOR THE MANUAL STRINGING

SELECT FIRST STRUCTURE FROM WHERE


YOU WANT TO START STRINGING THEN
CHOOSE SET WHICH YOU WANT TO
STRUNG
SELECTION OF CABLE FILE

SLECT PROPER CABLE FILE


CAREFULLY AND FILL
REQUIRED TENSION FOR
STRINGING

CHOOSE NEXT UNTIL YOU


REACH TO NEXT TENSION
STRUCTURE THEN SELECT YES
SECTION SAG TENSION CALCULATION INPUT

YOU CAN CHOOSE EITHER AUTOMATIC SAGGING OR


MANUAL TENSION VALUE
AUTOMATIC TOWER SPOTTING
BEFORE STARTING AUTOMATIC TOWER SPOTTING YOU HAVING READY ALL THE STRUCTURE
COMBINATION USED IN LINE AS WELL AS THEIR ACTUAL COST.
YOU CAN START AUTOMATIC SPOTTING BY ADDING AVIALABLE STRUCTURE FILES ADDING IN TO THE
CURRENT PROJECT

SELECT ALL THE


STRUCTURE FILES
AND CLICK ‘OK’.
AFTER ADDING STRUCTURES INTO FILE ASSIGN THEIR COST AND
SPOTTING PARAMETERS AS SHOWN.
THEN DEFINE TOWER SPOTTING CONSTRAINTS INTO FILE

SOFTWARE WILL NOT SPOT TOWERS IN THIS AREA MARKED WITH RED RECTANGLE.
NOW TO START OPTIMUM TOWER SPOTTING

SELECT START AND END


POINT OF LINE
SELECT CABLE FILE FOR SPOTTING AND SPECIFY THE
SAGGING DATA
AFTER SPECIFYING SAGGING DATA, TOWER SPOTTING
OF ENTIRE LINE SHALL BE DONE
YOU CAN SEE ALL THE INFORMATION OF SPOTTTED STRUCTURES
FROM STAKING TABLE
YOU CAN SEE THE INFORMATION OF ACTUAL SAGGING IN
SECTION TABLE
YOU CAN MOVE OR EDIT TOWER POSITION AND TYPE
TO CHANGE TOWER TYPE CLICK HERE

YOU CAN SHIFT TOWER FORWARD/BACKWARD BY INCREASING/DECREASING STATION VALUE


PART - 4

VARIOUS REPORTS
STRUCTURE USAGE REPORT

TOWER IS SAFE WITHIN 100% OF USAGE


SECTION USAGE REPORT

TENSION IN CABLE IS SAFE WITHIN 100% OF USAGE


SURVEY POINT CLEARANCE REPORT
WIND SPAN AND WEIGHT SPAN REPORT
STRUCTURE LONGITUDE AND LATTITUDE REPORT

FOR THIS REPORT YOU MUST HAVE TO DEFINE PROJECT CO-ORDINATE SYSTEM
STRINGING CHART REPORT

YOU CAN CHOOSE ONE


OR MULTIPLE CABLE

YOU CAN CHOOSE CABLE


CONDITION FROM HERE
CLEARANCE BETWEEN WIRES OR PHASES
