The latest build STAAD(X) Tower V8i was released last month. This release includes several new features and enhancements for the modeling of communication structures, with an emphasis on self-supporting tower structures.
Staad X Tower V8i
We're pleased to announce that an update to STAAD(X) Tower V8i is now available for download from Bentley SELECT. STAAD(X) Tower is a standalone product which is used for the modeling, analysis, and design of communication tower structures. This release focuses primarily on tower generation enhancements for both monopole and self-supporting tower structures, with additional new features available for monopole towers.
You may also define a round extension for a tapered monopole. Monopole structures are designed per EIA/TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G specifications. A geometric analysis is performed in real time and lap splice requirements are presented in tabular format. The same table can be used to conveniently modify all tower structure sections. Wind load generation and design calculations for both EIA/TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G specifications has been enhanced, as well.
Several new components have been added for 3- and 4-legged self-supporting towers, as well. Now you can add work platforms, feedlines along a face, or ladders along a face (any of which can be added inside or outside the lattice structure). 2ff7e9595c
