Capabilities

What You Can Do with SHIELD

Simulate lightning strikes and protection zones in real-world 3D environments.

Rolling Sphere & Eriksson Models

  • Determine protected zones and strike points
  • Supports LPL I–IV with automatic sphere radius adjustment
  • 3D visualization of lightning interception zones

Protected Volume Analysis

  • Verify shielding of buildings, equipment & outdoor assets
  • Calculate clearance and unprotected areas
  • 3D export of volume intersections and profiles

Compliance & Documentation

  • IEC 62305 compliant protection validation
  • Generate coverage reports and visual proof
  • Integrate with GSA / NETS for complete risk assessment

Typical SHIELD Workflow

Define geometry → Select LPS class → Compute zones → Validate → Export visuals

  1. 01 · Setup Geometry

    Import site models, assign air-terminations & down conductors.

  2. 02 · Define Parameters

    Choose protection level (LPL) & sphere radius.

  3. 03 · Compute Coverage

    Generate protected volumes and verify compliance.

  4. 04 · Export Results

    Produce 3D maps, reports, and compliance visuals.
