Generation of Lattice Tower Structures |
The basic module RF-TOWER Structure represents an innovative tool for generating 3D tower structures being rather complex in their geometry. Lattice towers and radio masts can be created comfortably due to the input of parameters. In addition, it is possible to adjust already existing RFEM models in the add-on module RF-TOWER Structure.

| Features
- Generation of rectangular or square towers
- Access to the comprehensive material and cross-section libraries from RFEM
- Comfortable geometry input by means of tower segments
- Databases for vertical, horizontal and inner bracings
- Easy export of generated model data to RFEM

| Input
First, define the tower type as well as the relevant materials and cross-sections in the module. Then, enter the tower geometry by specifying the individual tower segments. The slopes can be defined via widths or relatively by means of changes in the geometry.
When you have entered the tower poles, you can define various stiffenings for the lattice tower. RF-TOWER Structures provides detailed specifications for horizontal girts and inner bracings as well as for vertical bracings of towers with non-identical sides. A comprehensive library with various types of bracings facilitates the input.
Each input table shows an interactive graphic that helps you entering the model data. |

| Generation
When the tower model has been completely generated, RF-TOWER Structure displays all data in clearly arranged output tables. The output includes all specifications concerning member releases and buckling lengths.
To check the data graphically, you can use the Viewer function, which is also available in the input tables, providing a full screen display. |

| Data Export
Finally, it is possible to transfer the generated model data of the lattice tower, for example geometry and cross-sections, to RFEM by mouse click. |
