    MStower

    Specialty software for steel tower analysis and design to a number of international standards.

    Overview

    MStower is special purpose software for the analysis and design of steel transmission and communication towers to a range of international standards. A comprehensive library of panel types and ancillary equipment allow quick creation of the structure.

    • Used by authorities for the checking of transmission line structures and communications towers and masts
    • Generate geometry from commonly used panels
    • Wind and ice loads on members, antennas, and ancillaries are computed automatically
    • Application of gust factors
    • Analysis results and member check results may be displayed graphically and reports printed
    • Output to CAD format directly from analysis
    • Non-linear analysis is used for masts and catenary cable element is used for guys
    • Loading may be computed in accordance with:
      • BS 8100 Part 1 1986
      • BS 8100 Part 4 1995
      • AS 3995-1994
      • AS/NZS 1170.2:2002
      • Malaysian Electricity Supply Regulations 1990
      • EIA/TIA-222-F-1996
      • TIA-222-G-2005
      • Institution of Lighting Engineers Technical Report No. 7 – High Masts for Lighting and CCTV– 2000 Edition.
      • IS 875 (Part 3):1987
      • BNBC 93 – Bangladesh National Building Code
      • ANSI/ASCE 7-95
      • NSCP C101-01 – Philippines National Building Code
    • Member capacities may be checked against the requirements of:

      • BS 8100 Part 3
      • BS 449
      • AS 3995-1994
      • ASCE 10-90, ASCE 10-97
      • EIA/TIA-222-F-1996
      • TIA-222-G-2005.
      • Institution of Lighting Engineers Technical Report No. 7 – High Masts for Lighting and CCTV– 2000 Edition.
      • BS 5950-1:2000 (for tubular poles)
      • IS 802 (Part 1 / Sec. 2):1992
