Reduction of wind load on power line due to angle of wind

[gwillis33]

NESC 252B.3 indicates you should reduce the wind load on a power line due to the angle of the wind to line. sag10 has no place to allow for that wind angle. Is this something to be concerned about? Thanks.

I am not familiar with that code, but wind can blow from any direction.

Yes I know wind can blow from any direction, hence the provision in that standard. Other standards say the same thing - reduce wind according to the angle between the wind and the line. Other overhead software like Poles 'n' Wires does allow for the angle of wind to line, but I can't seen any equivalent in sag10. Just wondering if any other users of sag10 have any suggestion, or do you not worry about it.
