Detailed Modeling for Accurate Results Cable Pulling Accurate prediction of cable pulling forces is essential for the proper design of cable systems. This knowledge makes it possible to avoid under-estimated and/or over-conservative design practices to achieve substantial capital savings during construction. The Cable Pulling module accounts for multiple cables of different sizes and allows complex 3-D pulling path geometry. A point-by-point calculation method is performed at every conduit bends and pull points. Both the forward and reverse pulling tensions are calculated for determining the...
