nVent has introduced an updated version of the nVent CADDY Calc Seismic Bracing Calculator, a self-service online tool designed to help users determine when seismic bracing is required and create optimized brace designs based on real installation conditions. This new version provides clear, hand calculation–style outputs with 3D visualization, automated documentation, and validation aligned with NFPA and FM guidelines.

What's New

• SDC calculation to eliminate unnecessary bracing and installs
• Custom angle bracing uses true installed angles
• Detailed calculations to reduce overengineering, while staying code‑compliant
• Comprehensive anchor database with built‑in engineering validation
• 3D brace preview and embedded visuals
• Copy/duplicate workflow option
• Automated submittal documentation

This tool simplifies the configuration of Ground and Earth Bars to meet exact specifications, making the quoting process easier despite high product variability.

The SCoPe™ Seismic Calculation Program is sophisticated software that performs complicated structural calculations for seismic sway braces in accordance with building codes. Complete calculations can be produced without needing to refer to the code itself. All of the required information is in the program and at your fingertips. SCoPe™ can access seismic map values based on GPS coordinates, so calculations can be performed for projects located anywhere in the world.

SCoPe™ performs seismic bracing calculations for ALL suspended non-structural building components such as pipe, conduit, ducts, trapeze supported components, cable trays, bus ducts, conveyers, lights and more. It also does fire sprinkler piping calculations in accordance with the requirements of NFPA-13.
