Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a local system and a scalable system are operable to:
receive inputs describing at least one utility structure that includes a plurality of wires, environmental conditions to which the at least one utility structure is subjected, engineering standards applicable to the at least one utility structure, and analysis configuration;
execute a local model engine on the local system;
instantiate one or more scalable model engines on the scalable system based on a demand on the local model engine and computing resources available to the local model engine;
wherein the local model engine and the one or more scalable model engines are configured
to calculate an acceptable loading of the at least one utility structure based on the inputs describing the at least one utility structure, the engineering standards applicable to the at least one utility structure, and the analysis configuration,
to generate a finite element model of the utility structure based on the inputs describing the at least one utility structure, the environmental conditions to which the at least one utility structure is subjected, and the analysis configuration, wherein the generation of the finite element model includes modeling the plurality of wires based on hybrid loading that
groups the plurality of wires of the at least one utility structure within a shear zone into a support group,
identifies one or more first wires of the support group that are supported with guying where load is to be kept constant,
identifies one or more second wires of the support group that are unsupported by guying where load is to be allowed to adjust with displacement,
models the one or more first wires of the support group as loads, and
models the one or more second wires of the support group as finite elements,

to simulate a state of the finite element model to determine an expected loading; and
to compare the expected loading to the acceptable loading and provide loading results based on at least the expected loading and comparison of the expected loading to the acceptable loading; and

execute a user interface on the local system and display the loading results in the user interface.
