TOWER Structure 8.xx

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. 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 with entering the model data.

When the tower model has been completely generated, 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.

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

All module data is part of the RSTAB printout report. The contents of the report and the extent of the program output can be selected specifically for individual designs.
