Description

PVGround is a comprehensive solar design tool available as plugins for AutoCAD and ZWCAD, catering to both ground-mounted (PVGround) and rooftop (PVRoof) photovoltaic projects. This platform efficiently interprets terrain from drawings to strategically position solar panels, determines the megawatt capacity based on varying row spacings, and conducts shading analysis that accounts for obstacles like trees and fences. Additionally, it facilitates the planning of DC, AC, and HV cable routes in three dimensions, organizes pile lengths in correlation with tonnage, computes earthwork requirements for cutting and filling, and validates designs through cross-sectional evaluations. Meanwhile, PVRoof focuses on roof geometry by modeling slope and orientation, allowing for both automatic and manual panel placement while performing shading assessments. Users can export their designs to formats such as PVsyst, Excel, PDF, and DXF. Furthermore, the WebView feature enables users to share their completed designs via a token, allowing reviewers to access the 3D models of terrain, modules, piles, and structures, alongside live shading and read-only performance metrics (annual production, specific yield, and performance ratio) from any browser on devices like phones, tablets, or laptops without requiring AutoCAD or a license, ensuring that your DWG files remain secure. Prospective users can take advantage of a 14-day complimentary trial to explore the platform's capabilities.

Description

Solpile is a desktop application designed for Windows, aimed at geotechnical and structural engineers who need to evaluate a single pile subjected to lateral forces within layered soil profiles. The software allows users to specify the pile's geometry, sectional characteristics, and the various soil layers present, after which they can apply pile-head or distributed loads to compute the pile's reaction. It incorporates sophisticated p-y soil models along with a finite-difference beam-on-springs solver for accurate analysis. The program offers a variety of analysis options, including considerations for groundwater, sloped terrains, battered piles, both static and cyclic loading, soil displacement, nonlinear behavior of pile sections, axial-load interactions, and LRFD combinations. Outputs include detailed information on deflection, bending moments, shear forces, soil reactions, and p-y curves at specified depths. Furthermore, users can conduct additional investigations into pushover responses, buckling, stiffness, and the optimal length for piles. Results can be easily exported into formats such as PDF, Word, and Excel, and the application accommodates both SI and US customary units. Solpile operates on Windows 10 and 11, featuring an online licensing system, while also permitting offline use for a duration of up to 30 days, ensuring flexibility for engineers on the go. Additionally, the interface is user-friendly, facilitating a seamless experience for professionals in the field.
