Loading District

The values in the Loading District drop-down box are imported from the MMENG_LOADINGDISTRICTS table. The chosen district is used to retrieve the correct values from other MMENG tables (for example, MMENG_CONDTENSION) which are grouped by loading district.

Construction Grade

In many of the Structural Analysis calculations construction grade must be factored in. Designer uses the option specified here to apply a factor to calculations.

For wire (conductor) tensions: Grade B = 1.65, Grade C = 1.1

For pole strength calculations: Grade B = 2.0, Grade C = 1.33

At Crossing

If this option is checked At Crossing OCFs are used for wind load calculations:

For wind load (elsewhere): Grade B = 4.00, Grade C = 2.00

For wind load (at crossing): Grade B = 4.00, Grade C = 2.67

Soil Class

The values in the Soil Class drop-down box are imported from the MMENG_SOILCLASSDESCRIPTION table. The value chosen here uses the MMENG_ANCHORTORQUES table to filter the list of available anchors. This ensures that only appropriate anchors are listed for a particular soil type.
