- 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.
Always get the latest version for the best Power Path experience.
Upgraded or/and extended existing commands and functionalities for power line design
- Add Weather Conditions and Edit Weather Conditions
When the user defines a positive value for the user-defined temperature, the input options for ice load is automatically disabled, meaning their values are considered to be 0. When a negative value is defined, the user is given the option to input and define the ice load.
With this upgrade, the chance of defining incorrect conditions when creating the weather conditions definition is reduced.
- Create Sag Tension Report
The report now includes the length of the conductor for each temperature listed, so in addition to sag and tension, the report also contains conductor lengths at different temperatures.
With this upgrade, in addition to the 3D graphical display that already existed, a numerical value of the catenary length for different temperatures is now available.
- Create Quantity Report
The report now includes the length of the conductor, so in addition to other quantities, it also shows values representing conductor lengths.
With this upgrade, this report provides information for lengths of all used conductors for selected power line.
- Create Support Report
The report now includes calculations of reduced forces and moments at the top of the support, so in addition to load components, it also contains the resultant force and moment values.
With this upgrade, the report provides information on summarized loads on the support.
- Settings
Units for moment have been added to the settings.
The added setting for unit moment (in Other units) allows users to choose the desired unit for the generated results in reports.
Fixed existing commands and functionalities
- Create Sag Tension Report
When generating the Sag - Tension report under previously defined weather conditions without ice load, the report will now be created with correct critical span values and will no longer display the value “infinite”.
The issue has been fixed in this version.
- Add Support Data
A fix has been implemented regarding the ability to add attachment points when adding new supports.
The issue has been fixed in this version.
- Panels Layers and Attachments
Panels Layers and Attachments can be enabled on the docked sides (left or right).
These issues have been fixed in this version.
Instructions for installing the latest version and/or build of Power Path
If you want to install the latest version and/or the latest build of the version, you need to start the installation process and follow the steps described in the following guides:
- Installation and Single License Activation - for single license or
- Installation and Network License Activation - for network license
For example, if you already have Power Path V25 with build 25.1.07 installed, and you are now installing Power Path V25 with build 25.2.08, at the end of the installation the program will prompt you to confirm the upgrade of user files, as shown here:
Our recommendation is to choose the "Overwrite" option.
If you are installing Power Path V25 with build 25.2.08 for the first time, you will not see the dialog for upgrading user files.
Always get the latest version for the best Power Path experience.
