iTower|
The programme is order make detailed analysis of lattice towers. The lattice tower is modelled in a 3D FE-model, and is especially developed to incorporate the special requirements of angle bar lattice towers.
Description
- 3D Geometry generation with redundants – to study the realistic behavior of the tower thus achieving safe designs
- Tower template – A powerful tool to generate 3D geometry with redundants optionally for the square & Triangular base configuration
- Tower truncations – Analyze multiple tower truncations in single file
- Automatic drawings and report generator
- EL generator – Automatic effective length calculations for all tower members and for all tower truncations
- Easy tools for automatic generation of body wind load calculations
- Automatic determination of loads due to antenna and other accessories (Ladder, cables, platforms & lightning rods) according to different codes
- Tower is idealized as a 3D-Space Truss with 3 degrees of freedom
Unique capabilities
- Capability to analyze and calculate new optimized tower designs
- Design checking of existing Telecommunication towers
- Maintenance, strengthening and up gradation of existing towers to accommodate new antennas
- Modification of existing lines to provide new strength under new wind pressures and new codes
- Optimization across various patterns, basic dimensions, steel type, shape of the section, and cost of the steel is easily achieved

iTowers Detailer for generation of Assembly Drawings for Towers
- Detailing of a Tower can now be achieved within a few hours
- 3-Dimensional Tower Model reflecting Back-marks, Butt and Lap Joints, actual Tower Member sizes
- Surface view - a complete breakdown of the surfaces used in the towers
- Drawing Editor - allows us to store and displays several parts of the tower simultaneously for better viewing
- Bill of Materials - a complete list of all items, their weights along with the section sizes and which can be exported to the standard applications such as Microsoft® Excel®, Microsoft® Access®
- Exporting Assembly Drawings to popular drawing packages such as AutoCAD and Micro Station
- Interactive Shop Drawings browser - provided by which the user can browse through all the shop drawings of the existing members and plates
- Material Optimizer - a complete picture of the members used on the tower, their weight, prices and the percentage of material wastage
Codes
Design as per the following codes analysis can be made according to the following codes:
- TIA/EIA 222-5
- Indian standard (IS)
- IS: 802 – 1992, IS: 802 – 1977, IS: 800-1984,IS: 806-1968
- UK Standard (BS: 8100, BS: 5950)
- Egypt Standard
- ISO 10721-1:1997(E)
- Eurocode (ENV 1993-3-1:1997)
- American standard (TIA/EIA 222-F, ASCE 10 – 97, AISC)
The output language as well as the language of the user interface is English.
