| description | In light of the issues associated with the laying process of transmission line cables, including concealed security risks and contact collisions between pulleys and cables, which primarily stem from reliance on drawings, this paper introduces a simulation methodology for the cable laying construction process utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. Initially, two-dimensional DWG graphic data are employed to develop a model of the target equipment and construction environment using BIM software (Solid works 2020). Subsequently, the cable is accurately modeled by applying ADAMS virtual prototype technology, the bushing force connection method, and the macro command language. This allows for the construction of a three-dimensional real cable laying system for transmission lines, enabling the simulation of the dynamic cable laying process in the field. Subsequently, an error analysis is conducted to compare the axial tension and laying speed of the cable with theoretical calculation values. The study then proceeds to analyze tension fluctuations during the cable laying process and assess the load-bearing capacity of the pulleys, thus facilitating effective control of the construction process and enhancing safety measures. The findings indicate that the proposed method can accurately and efficiently simulate the on-site cable laying construction process, with numerical errors maintained below 5%, thereby validating the integrity of the model. Furthermore, the traction overload safety protection amplification coefficient is determined to be α = 1.5. It is highlighted that the bearing capacity of the block must exceed 60% of the load carried by the conductor at constant speed. This research provides a theoretical foundation for addressing safety hazards in cable laying engineering and holds certain engineering value. |
