-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 4.0
July 2015
- New: The interface of the program and forms with the calculation results are t
ranslated into English.
- New: While working with the interface of the program in one language, it is po
ssible to make the calculation results appear in a different language, which is
convenient when working with foreign customers.
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.9
04.12.2014
- New: The reference catalog of the program is amplified with new wires, the pro
cess of editing is updated; the wires, cords, cables are conveniently divided in
to groups according to their purpose, National Standard and Technical Conditions
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.8
07.04.2014
- New: The new option of inputting permissible stresses instead of tension is ad
ded to the program, which allows better control over the decisions taken for the
project.
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.7
03.10.2013
- New: The option of porting the crossings drafts to any graphical package suppor
ting dfx format is implemented.
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.6
23.05.2013
- New: The option of porting the crossings drafts to AutoCad 2013 is implemented.
- New: Some specifying changes are made, which do not affect the calculation res
ults.
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.5
09.10.2012
- New: The number of characters for the type of the wire, cord, self-supporting
cable is increased from 9 to 16.
- New: The reference catalog of wires, cords, self-supporting cables is amplifie
d with wires, cords, cables manufactured not according to National Standard with
their approximate characteristics that should be specified for each particular
project.
- New: The user guides and help files of the program are updated.
Version 3.4.2
11.01.2012
- New: The wind loads in case of ice accumulation are specified. To make it more
vivid, the table for stresses, tension, sag for the spans in mode 1 shows the w
ind

loads in case of ice accumulation taking into account the coefficients of height
and type of terrain. The corresponding figures for ice load in modes 1 and 2, a
nd maximum wind in mode 3 were there before.
- New: The interface of the program is updated.
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta.
Version 3.4.1
30.08.2011
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta.
14.12.2010
- New: When the height of the equivalent center of gravity is more than 15 meter
s (for wind) and more than 25 meters (for ice), the table for stresses, tension
and sag shows the figures that take into account the coefficients of height (ear
lier it showed the basic loads). The figures for load-per-unit and equivalent lo
ads show, as well as before, the entire loads considering all the coefficients,
including those of height and reliability.
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta, the errors of editing process are corrected and the interface of the program
is updated. The calculation itself, as before, is valid which is proven by new
test results both according to EIR-6 and EIR-7.
Version 3.4
14.10.2009
- New: The program is supplemented with the coefficients that specify climatic p
arameters depending on the types of terrain and the heights of wires , cords , selfsupporting cables attachment. The interface of the program is updated, the user g
uide is now supplied with the program.
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta.
Version 3.3
16.02.2009
- New: In the new version

help file for the program are supplemented with new da

Version 1.3.2
05.09.2008
- New: The calculation is supplemented with the option of making supports-spotti
ng drafts of the line route profile and sagging curves of wires, cords, self-sup
porting cables at different temperatures in AutoCad (not earlier than 2007 versi
on).
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta.
Version 1.2.2
29.01.2008
- New: In order not to lose the input source data, the program offers saving fi
le both when quitting the program and switching to a different file (operations
with files).
- New: The user guide and help file for the program are supplemented with new da
ta.
- New: Minor updates of the program interface are made.
Version 1.2.1

16.03.2007
- New: It is decided to supply the program with the Changes file.
- New: The user receives a warning in case the reliability and standard loads coe
fficients (according to 2.5.11 of EIR-7, and in the source data they equal 1 by
default) are used incorrectly.
- New: After the customers requests the limitation for the number of calculated
spans is removed, which better meets the demands of the line designers, for exam
ple, when the pitch of the span length is 1 meter.
- New: The calculation results include all the source data, including reference
data for the sake of control on the project.
- New: Minor updates of the program interface for better understanding of the in
put data by the user are made.
- New: Help file of the program is amplified and updated. Recommendations to the
user based on the experience of working with the previous versions of the progr
am are added to the file.
