FEA of Trussed Towers & Masts 1

[audu1985]

I just went back to grad school to study structural engineering after 15 years of being a civil construction/maintenance engineer! Can any one out there lead me to where I can find any materials that specifically address the analysis of masts and towers using FEA?

Here is a link to an Algor FEA software tutorial. You can get a software demo to look at and work with the files that you can also download from this link.

Go to thread507-125365. This discussion mentions some good references for tower design.
