Tower Numerics tnxTower v8.0.7.4 | Comprehensive Telecommunication Tower Analysis & Design Software
tnxTower v8.0.7.4 is the latest version of the industry-standard software for the analysis and design of telecommunication towers, monopoles, and other lattice structures . It provides structural engineers with a complete solution for modeling, analyzing, and designing guyed and self-supporting towers in accordance with TIA-222 and other international standards .
Core Functionality Overview:
-
Complete Tower Modeling & Analysis: Creates detailed 3D models of lattice towers, monopoles, and custom structures with comprehensive load generation for wind, ice, seismic, and appurtenances. Features powerful analysis capabilities including linear and nonlinear static analysis, P-Delta effects, and dynamic analysis .
-
TIA-222 Compliance & Multiple Code Support: Performs rigorous code-checking and member design according to TIA-222 (all editions including -H), ASCE 7, IBC, and other international standards. Includes detailed stress reports and automatic member resizing for optimal design .
-
Advanced Guyed Tower Analysis: Specialized features for modeling complex guyed systems including multiple guy levels, pretensioning, guy slack/break analysis, and nonlinear behavior of guy assemblies under various loading conditions .
-
Mount & Appurtenance Design: Models complex antenna mounts, platforms, and line arrays with detailed wind load calculations for circular and flat members, including shielding factors and ice considerations .
-
Comprehensive Reporting & Visualization: Generates detailed calculation reports, 3D visualization with stress contouring, mode shape animation, and industry-standard output formats for regulatory submittals and client presentations .
-
Foundation Design Integration: Interfaces with tnxFoundation for integrated analysis and design of tower foundations including spread footings, drilled piers, and anchor bolt cages .
