A
IEEE-Based Analysis
Apply rolling sphere evaluation consistent with established engineering practice for substation lightning protection review.
Lightning Protection Analysis for High Voltage Substations
Identify exposed equipment and validate shielding coverage in seconds using geometry driven IEEE based rolling sphere analysis.
Rolling Sphere Engine helps engineers evaluate shielding coverage on complex sites using imported 3D geometry, interactive review tools, and high-performance computation built for practical design workflows.
Example site view from Rolling Sphere Engine showing imported substation geometry and shielding review context.
Based on IEEE rolling sphere methodology
Designed for real engineering workflows
Supports substation, data center, and renewable site analysis
How It Works
01
Import Geometry
Load site geometry using OBJ models for equipment, structures, and terrain.
02
Run Analysis
Execute rolling sphere evaluation using selected design parameters.
03
Inspect Coverage
Review protection tents, contact regions, and exposed equipment.
04
Refine Design
Adjust masts and shield wires and re-run analysis to validate improvements.
Key Capabilities
Built for engineering review rather than generic calculation, the workflow stays grounded in actual site geometry and repeatable design checks.
B
3D Geometry Import
Import OBJ site geometry in a CAD-agnostic workflow that fits existing modeling and drafting processes.
C
Coverage Visualization
Review tents, contacts, and protected regions directly on the model to support clear visual validation.
D
Measurement Tools
Check distances and clearances between equipment and shielding elements while iterating on a design.
Rolling Sphere Engine Demo
This demo video shows a representative Rolling Sphere Engine workflow from geometry import through exposure review, highlighting how engineers move from initial site setup to validated shielding decisions.
- The walkthrough covers OBJ-based geometry intake and initial model setup.
- It shows how coverage tents, contact review, and clipped inspection views are used during analysis.
- It concludes with a design refinement pass using mast and shield wire adjustments before re-running the analysis.

Use Cases
Rolling Sphere Engine supports lightning protection review across several infrastructure categories while keeping substations as the primary focus.
HV Substations
Evaluate shielding for buswork, breakers, transformers, and support structures on dense and irregular layouts.
Data Centers
Review rooftop equipment exposure and validate protection strategies around changing mechanical layouts.
Renewable Sites
Check solar and BESS site configurations where equipment spacing and shielding geometry must be reviewed quickly.
