Lightning Protection Calculation Software !new! -
For physical protection (external LPS), the software simulates a sphere of radius ( r ) (based on the protection level, e.g., 60m for Level III) rolling over the building model. Zones not touched by the sphere must be protected. The output is a color-coded 3D mesh showing vulnerable roof edges, corners, and tall projections.
The most common visualization method implemented in software is the Rolling Sphere Method. The software virtually rolls a sphere of a specific radius (corresponding to the Lightning Protection Level, e.g., 20m, 30m, 45m, 60m) across the structure. lightning protection calculation software
Emerging tools are starting to integrate (e.g., using local field mill sensors) with design software. Imagine a tool that not only calculates initial protection but also simulates degradation over time, suggesting maintenance cycles based on local strike history.
