It also provides improved options for ASCE 74-1991 and NESC 2002 as well as new options for SAPS Wind, Wind on Face, Wind on All, RTE Hyp1 and RTE Hyp2. The load model column replaces the Structure Gust Response Factor found in earlier versions and also provides new methods for applying wind to structures according to the following codes: ASCE 74-2009, EN 50341-1:2001 (CENELEC), EN 5:2001 (UK NNA), EN 5 (Portugal NNA), IEC 60826:2003, REE (Spain), TPNZ (New Zealand). The structure loads changes include new columns for Structure Area Factor, Structure Ice Thickness and Structure Wind Load Model. The changes to weather criteria include new options under Wire Wind Height Adjust Model and Wire Gust Response Factor for adjusting wind and ice according to the following codes: ASCE 74-2009, EN 50341-1:2001 (CENELEC), EN 5:2001 (UK NNA), EN 5 (Portugal NNA), IEC 60826:2003, REE (Spain), Russia 7th Edition, Statnett, TPNZ (New Zealand), ESAA C(b)1-2003 (Australia) and AS/NZS 7000:2010. Projects created in any previous version of PLS-CADD can still be opened, their criteria will automatically be migrated and by default PLS-CADD will calculate the same loads it did in version 6. Loading Methods in PLS-CADDIntroductionVersion 7 of PLS-CADD restructures criteria related to wire and structure loading and introduces several new methods for calculating structure loads.
