Is it possible to use Dlubal Software for the calculation and design of 5G transmission masts, antenna masts, or towers?
Answer
Special add-on modules from the RF‑/TOWER series extend and simplify the options.
Main Programs RFEM or RSTAB
Add-on Modules
helps to perform efficient generation of three- or four-sided tower structures.
RF-/TOWER Equipment
includes a comprehensive library with tower equipment and allows for a quick and easy integration into your model.
RF-/TOWER Loading
provides you with professional support when generating wind, ice and traffic loads.
RF-/TOWER Effective Lengths
determines the effective lengths of members that are specific for towers.
RF-/TOWER Design
performs design according to EN 1993‑,1‑1, EN 1993‑3‑1, and EN 50341, including NA.
RF-/JOINTS Steel Tower
designs nominally pinned bolted connections used in lattice towers according to EN 1993‑1‑8.
Wind Analysis in Digital Wind Tunnel
Use RWIND Simulation for advanced analysis of wind flow behavior. The results can be used directly as loads or load cases in RFEM or RSTAB.Dynamic Analysis

Creating a User-Defined Platform for Use in RF-/TOWER Equipment
The following technical article describes the creation of a user-defined platform for use on a four-sided tower in the RF-/TOWER add-on modules.Screenshots
Product Features Articles

Members of triangular and quadrilateral lattice towers are allocated automatically provided that the lattice tower has been generated in the RF-/TOWER Structure and RF-/TOWER Equipment add-on modules.
However, it is also possible to allocate the members manually. In RF-/TOWER Design, you can use the effective lengths of truss members generated in the RF-/TOWER Effective Lengths add-on module. A manual input is also possible.
According to EN 1993-3-1 and EN 50341 standards, you can specify various bracing cases and support types for members of legs and bracing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I create a drilled beam in RFEM?
- In connection with the calculation according to the large deformation analysis, I get significantly smaller deformations than for the calculation according to the linear static or second-order analysis. How is this possible?
- Which formula is used in the RF‑/TOWER Loading add-on module to calculate the first natural frequency for the determination of the structure coefficient?
- Is it possible to control the beam steering of an antenna in RF‑/TOWER Design?
- How can I control the wind load distribution on tower sides in the RF‑/TOWER Loading add-on module?
- How is it possible to consider the real cross-section geometry of member elements in RWIND Simulation?
- Is it also possible to simulate an external steel structure in RWIND Simulation?
- Is it possible to design a "Kármán vortex street" behind an object in the numerical wind tunnel of RWIND Simulation?
- I have designed a steel connection using RF‑JOINTS and then created a model to compare it in RFEM. Why are the results not identical?
-
The upper and lower flanges have to be joined by a column, but there are the verticals and diagonals connected to the flanges.
How do I arrange the hinges?
