Customization of equipment libraries

Customize a library of complete equipment including antennas, parasols, transmission lines, attachment equipment and tower mounted devices, from the main manufacturers, thanks to the integrated tools.

Design connections

Define element connections using various bolt models, including predefined configurations. Automatically integrate their impact into design calculations and verify their structural effectiveness.

Design of the foundation of the tower

Design tower foundations according to U.S. standards, for tower feet and anchoring points of haubans, including type foundations pad-pier, drilled piles, stud anchors and mast foundations. Automate the design according to the most critical load cases and assess the foundation's compliance with the defined criteria.

Key Features

Self-supporting towers

Self-supporting towers

3 sides and 4 sides

  • Controls of elements (TIA-222 Rev F, G, H).
  • Checking of counterfiche fittings (slides, welded; check for failure mechanisms: shear bolt, shear block, element and plate load).
  • Verification of segment splicing connections (bride, shear sleeve, splicing; verified components: plates, bolts, welds, stiffeners).
  • Controls of base anchor bolts (steel controls).
  • Verification of foundations (dalle, pad-pier, drilled pier).

Monopoles

Conical, tiered and hybrid

  • Controls of poles (TIA-222 Rev F, G, H)
  • Control of bolted splicing connections (controlled components: plates, bolts, welds, stiffeners)
  • Base verification (checked components: anchor bolt steel, stiffener plates, stiffener welding)
  • Verification of the foundations (mast pad, drilled pier).

A computer screen displays the OpenTower Designer interface with a 3D model and design settings. An additional window displays the custom tower details and section properties.

User Word

OpenTower [Designer] surpasses its competitors in terms of functionality, ease of use and analytical depth.
The graphical user interface makes it easy to see what equipment is on a tower, including the side and elevation; the foundation analysis module is complete; An integrated fastening analysis module makes it easy to model and evaluate complex fasteners and the software offers an innovative method to create the history of a tower.
