software for transmission tower design 1

[Ariv]

Can some body help me, to find out any software for transmission tower & microwave tower analysis, design and optimization.

There was some discussion in this section earlier in the year or late last year. Do a search on "transmission towers" in the forum and I'm sure you will find it.

We use ERITower by C-Concepts at

http://www.c-conceptsinc.com

It is a good, dedicated tower analysis program

If you are really into brain damage, you can use any of the structural analysis programs such as STAAD-III, RISA, or others.

Ariv:
PLS CAD by Alain Peyrot at the University of Wisconsin has a TOWER option for the analysis/design of latticed transmission towers. The software is utilized by many of the U.S. electric utility companies and their consultants; also accepted worldwide. The entire software package is excellent.

In my opinion sap2000 is a good choice, easy to use software.Iam also working on a project related to 50 meter high communication tower and started finding the geometry of that system using sap2000.
you can easily download its educational version for free.

GT STRUDL is used extensively for this purpose.

I am looking for a software, which can do Transmission & communication tower analysis, design, and even preparing the fabrication drawings. Analysis & design for various country standards. Design includes connections also.
