First of all, please note: Given the nature of Power Line Systems’ software products (special industry), the relevance of these products, and the scarcity of crack resources, AppNee decided to put all of Power Line Systems’ software resources that we can get for you in one post to share. If you work in the power industry, then it might help you a little bit.
PLS-CADD (short for Power Line Systems – Computer Aided Design and Draft) is a program used for analyzing and designing overhead power line system for Windows. It integrates all the data and algorithms needed for the geometric and structural design of a power line into a single computer environment. It enables surveyors, line layout designers, structural/geotechnical engineers and draftsmen to work together better, thereby increasing their productivity and reducing the chance of errors.
As the most powerful powerline design program in the market today, PLS-CADD includes all the terrain, sag-tension, load, clearance and drafting functions necessary for the design of an entire power line, and integrates all aspects of the design work into a single application through a simple, logical and consistent interface. No other programs can compete with the complex engineering features provided in PLS-CADD. This complexity and integration lead to cost-effective designs that can be produced in very little time.
PLS-CADD features complex 3D engineering models, which include ground connections, structures and all wires, and allows to view the model in a variety of different ways: profile diagram, layout, drawing and 3D display. It is so clearly superior to any alternative that it has been adopted by more than 1600 organizations in over 125 countries.
TOWER analyzes, designs and optimizes steel lattice towers used for transmission and substation applications. It started out as just a structural analysis program, but after decades of evolution, it refined its algorithms, user interface and program design. Now, it has become a powerful and comprehensive steel latticed towers (used in electric power lines or communication facilities) analysis and design tool with unsurpassed reliability and ease of use. In TOWER, both self-supporting and guyed towers can be modeled. The program performs design checks of structures under user specified loads. For electric power structures, it can also calculate the maximum allowable wind and weight spans, and provides interaction diagrams between different ratios of allowable wind and weight spans.
PLS-POLE designs, analyzes and optimizes structures made up of wood, laminated wood, steel, concrete and FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) poles or modular aluminum masts. The program performs design checks of structures under user specified loads, and can calculate the maximum allowable wind and weight spans. Virtually any transmission, substation or communications structure can be modeled in PLS-POLE, including poles, H-frames, A-Frames, and X-Frames. These models are rapidly built from components such as poles, arms, guys, braces, and insulators.
SAPS (short for Structural Analysis of Power and communication Systems) is an analysis engine that powers other software products of Power Line Systems. It can be used both as a stand-alone program and as a plug-in to supplement the sag-tension capabilities of PLS-CADD. Its primary intended uses are in the fields of transmission, substation and communication systems for which it has been found vastly superior to traditional nonlinear finite element programs both in performance and simplicity of use. Transmission, substation and communication systems often include cables in the form of conductors, ground wires, guys, suspension strings, etc. They can also include flexible bending elements that deflect significantly under design loads.

You may have discovered that AppNee has hardly been updated in recent months, and the missing download links in many posts cannot be repaired. The reason is that our 2TB hard drive is physically dead (the data on it cannot be recovered with a normal recovery), and everything about our website is stored on it (the source code of website and software projects, especially all released and reserved versions of software – many of them are out of print, and you can’t find and download them anywhere except AppNee on the entire Internet).
In an effort to make up as much of the loss as possible, until recently we were able to revert updates to some smaller apps. Later, we will try to restore all software updates if possible, but we still can’t fix any older versions of software – because this data disaster is the worst in the past 10 years, there is any backup.

Since advertising revenue can no longer offset the expenditure of VPS and bandwidth, AppNee finally decided to block ad-block plugins since August; if the result is not as expected, we may manually block all users who are blocking AppNee’s ads according to the server log.
It’s a pity to do so, but this website has reached an unsustainable bottom line. If you can’t accept it, please switch to other similar websites that can be found everywhere on the Internet. In addition, to block appnee.com, you can use hosts or firewall.
