Register Heights

Contact Wire

For the contact wire there exist two parameters:
  • Stagger
  • Contact wire height

You can choose these parameters freely. If the checkbox of a parameter is active, this parameter will stay unchanged during optimization.

Furthermore you can find details if this support point is a pulled off or a pushed off cantilever, as well as information about the forces at the steady arm.

Second Support Point

At the double support points, you can edit the stagger of both support points at the same time.

Messenger Wire

Analogue to the other input fields you can edit the stagger and the system height and protect the data with the checkbox against changes. Depending on the process data and the project data input fields may be grayed-out.
