This video shows how you can continuously design three- and four-sided lattice towers using the structural analysis and design software RFEM and RSTAB by Dlubal.
The corresponding add-on modules provide a wide range of options, from the automatic generation of structures and loading to the determination of effective lengths and design according to Eurocode (EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-3-1, EN 50341).
Which add-on modules are presented?
RF-/TOWER Structure allows you to easily create lattice, cell, and transmission towers by entering parameters.
In RF-/TOWER Equipment, you can create tower equipment such as antennas, platforms, ladders, or cable ducts.
RF-/TOWER Loading generates design-relevant effects for lattice towers such as wind, ice, and live loads.
RF-/TOWER Effective Lengths determines the buckling lengths of members used in lattice towers with square, rectangular or triangular floor plans.
RF-/TOWER Design designs lattice towers according to EN 1993‑1‑1, EN 1993‑3‑1, and EN 50341.
