※Product Overview※

Specialty Software for Steel Tower Design

Quickly model, analyze, and design steel transmission and communication towers, thanks to MStower’s comprehensive modeling, results, and output capabilities. With both graphical and text-based definitions of tower structures, you can design and complete projects faster than ever. Easily create high-quality designs in compliance with a number of international standards.

You can efficiently design towers, such as monopoles, lattice towers, and guyed masts, using a comprehensive library of panel types and ancillary equipment that enable quick creation of the structure. Quickly create reports with virtually any result – from structure data to loading, static, and dynamic results. MStower contains comprehensive facilities for plotting the structure, loading, and results. Design checks include structural configuration, buckling lengths, slenderness ratios, ultimate member strength, and bolt strength. Analysis and member check results can be displayed graphically, used in reports, and printed as required.

CAPABILITIES

Analyze gravity and lateral load

Design and analyze simple or complex structures for a wide range of loading conditions, including those induced by gravity such as dead and live loads, including skip conditions, in combination with lateral loads including wind and seismic.

Design to international standards

Extend the reach of your business practice and take advantage of global design opportunities by using a wide range of international standards and specifications in our design products. Complete your designs with confidence thanks to extensive support of international standards.

Generate design loads and load combinations

Apply code-prescribed wind and seismic loads to the structure using built-in load generators. Calculate relevant loading parameters automatically based on the structural geometry, mass, and selected building code provisions without the need for separate hand calculations. Combine these lateral load cases with gravity and other types of loads using load combination generators.
