- Number of conductors attached to the pole.
- Tension of each conductor (from sag analysis).
- Relative pole elevations.
- Wind pressure on poles and overhead lines.
The analysis uses the forces from the sag calculation to calculate the bending moment based on the attachment point on the pole-head assembly or directly on the pole as determined by the attachment height rule. It considers any already attached guys and recomputes or rechecks the guying.
Guying analysis is run on a per-level basis. Level is a group of attachments within a specified vertical distance on the pole. Use the Guy Level Group Tolerance option in the Configure Analysis Options dialog box to specify guying levels. For more information on setting analysis options, see To Configure Analysis Option Sets.
If Auto Resolve is selected in the Analysis panel, the Sag and Guy analysis operations are performed automatically as you create pole and line features. Auto Validate and Auto Resolve generate one guy per level except for buck pole heads have two guys.
You can use Quick Info or Feature Info to adjust the connection between the guy wire and the guy port. If the pole head model does not have a guy port, the guy wire can be attached directly to the pole or pole head. For more information on connectivity, see About Connection.
