Rope Access Pro

About this app

Rope access and high angle rescue reference book and visual materials.

Current contents:
- Mechanical advantage systems reference book;
- Mechanical advantage systems builder. Allows to construct mechanical advantage systems used in rope access and high angle rescue. Builder allows to analyse gain, friction loss, devices and anchor loads;
- Deviation simulator. Shows value and direction of the force acting on the deviation depending on the rope angle and load;
- Y-hang simulator. Shows acting forces depending on configuration of attachment and load;
- Tyrolean simulation. Allows to estimate acting forces depending on the rope sag and load.

Application is being extended by free updates.

Ratings and reviews

It's okay, I was buying it so I could experiment with the complex systems builder, a lot like the complex systems in the manual section. Unfortunately complex systems don't seem to be able to be made (i.e. have a separate rope pulling part of the system).

Overall this is a good app. However the list of devices to choose from in the mechanical advantage systems builder are only the Petzl ID. I work on a ID however have a sparrow for rescue as it has a much lower friction ration to the ID. Would also like to see some other devices thrown in just for fun as well.

Could be updated at some point to reflect the times and new gear. I bought the pro version a while back 2yrs.
