- Available for Australian, Canadian, and U.S. standards
- Simple tabular input
- Comprehensive and convenient tabular output
- Graphical representation of output data is available through the GUYPLOTTM program
- Drawings of modeled tower available through the DRAWMASTTM program
- Compare the behaviour of towers using various assumptions
- Study the influence of those assumptions on behaviour and stress levels
- Evaluate the stress redistribution caused by the failure of some guy cables
- Find the most critical wind direction for maximum rotations and stresses
|
- Three orthogonal displacements and three orthogonal rotations at each guy attachment level and at the top and base of the tower (a full six degrees of freedom at each point)
- Axial force and bending moment interaction in the mast
- Bending in the mast about two horizontal orthogonal axes
- Guy displacements based on the three orthogonal displacements and three orthogonal rotations of the mast attachment points
- Any guy orientation
- Up to fifteen guy levels, each having up to twenty-four guys
- Any tower shape, provided that the axes pass through the centroid of the cross-section
- The user may choose to have the analysis disregard some of the displacements in the guy model or mast model independently, making it possible to test the effects of simplifying assumptions used in other methods
- Mast properties and loads may be entered by region without regard to individual spans, thus reducing input data requirements
- Linearly varying distributed loads and discontinuity of loads can be accommodated
- Up to 250 separate loading conditions may be studied in one submission, and maximum effects summarized
- Antenna rotations are reported in terms of principal antenna axes
- Tower rotations and displacements are reported in terms of the tower's principal axes
