Atmos Plus characteristics (Atmos Pro and Atmos LE has fewer functions, see below)

Current version:

Version X1.2 (11.2) - latest update: 11.2.2.99, Sep 2016

Main uses

Risk analysis

LPS design for Electro Geometric Model (EGM) and Faraday cage

Safety distances

Standards

IEC 62305:2010 (International)

NFPA 780:2014 and NFPA 780:2017 (USA)

NTC 4552:2008 (Colombia)

NBR 5419:2015 (1) (Brazil)

NFC 17 102: 2011(3) (France)

Languages:

English (2), Português Brasileiro

Data required:

LPS (air terminals, down conductors and grounding): structure dimensions, natural metallic elements, then several parameters options (see docs)

Risk analysis: division of structure in zones (according to chosen standard), parameters options (see docs); data of Service Lines (length, installation, …)

Locations (structure) Models:

Typical industrial buildings, Tall Buildings (like residential or office building) and Houses

Open areas, parking lots, sport courts

Isolated structures

Materials:

Materials database for air terminals, cables, rods, connections (weld and compression) and others, fully editable, with dimensions, description, picture, cost, labor time for instalation and labour cost, as well as suppliers database (also editable, of course)

Each LPS component can be turned On or Off to allow the use of natural elements like rebars or a metallic roof or structure

Design Options comparison:

Each Location (a structure or area) can have several Options, Zones and Service lines, then each Option has its own materials choices (for ex. masts of different heights or masts x cage) and a selection of the Zones and the Services connected.

Risk comparison includes risk components (RA, RB, …) and totals (R1, R2…) of each Zone and then totals between Zones; then risk total between Options (see docs).

Atmos also compare material x labor costs, and relative costs of air terminations x down conductors x grounding, so you have all the information needed for a fully-optimized design selection.
