nVent CADDY SCoPe Software Download
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.

GEM Calculator
Ground Enhancement Material (GEM) is a superior conductive material that solves your toughest grounding problems by reducing earth resistance and impedance measurements. It is the ideal material to use in areas of poor conductivity, such as rocky ground, mountain tops and sandy soil.
To assist in estimating the amount of GEM required for installations, nVent is proud to offer our free web-based GEM Calculator. The latest release of the nVent ERICO GEM Calculator features:
- Estimated system resistance values for basic grounding system designs including GEM
- Designs for single ground rods, multiple ground rods as well as for bare conductor
- Intuitive, easy-to-use design
- Useful tips and help information provide additional assistance during the design process
