STAAD.Tower currently offers these features:
- Wizard driven parametric physical model generation creates square and triangular self-supporting and guyed towers, and monopoles. This feature enhances productivity through faster model generation wizards and saves time on overall parametric editing of the physical model.
- An built in library of standard bracing patterns with facilities to create user-defined ones povides smooth automatic generation of analytical structures for any user defined physical model and increases productivity by providing a library of reusable bracing patterns.
- Extensive parametric editing facilities to incorporate changes in a tower’s overall shape and slope, panel dimensions, and panel face configurations increases productivity by providing continuous change management.
- Intuitive physical member creation with appropriate orientation saves time on overall member creation.
- Easy to use drag and drop features for inserting components from a built in database like dish antennas, appurtenances, and platforms with facilities to adjust mounting pattern, location, tilt, and azimuth angles enhances overall profitability by letting you use and maintain component catalogs.
- Automatic generation of wind, ice, and seismic load cases for tower structures and external attachments as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards saves time and allows investigation of “what–if” scenarios.
- Linear static analysis and second-order analysis saves time and allows investigation of “what–if” scenarios.
- Post-processing features including joint displacements, member forces, stresses, support reactions, leg compression, deflection, tilt, and twist results in terms of diagrams and tables enable you to have detailed insight of the analysis results and help to plot multiple post-processing diagrams for a selective set of physical members for complex structures.
- Design of physical members as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards reduces errors due to complex calculations.
- A customizable, user-friendly, exhaustive report generation facility to create all exhaustive, complete reports straight from the software avoids manual report compilation activities and establishes dynamic update links and saves time in regenerating the desired report.
- Bi-directional interoperability with other STAAD products avoids duplication of efforts in case you need to transfer the model to other products. This saves time in generating a composite structure that involves both STAAD.FEM and STAAD.Tower.
