GUYMAST-G: Software for TIA-222-G

GUYMAST^®-G

Guymast Inc. is please to announce the general availability of its new software, GUYMAST^®-G, for the analysis of towers using the TIA/EIA-222-G standard.

GUYMAST^®-G represents a major effort on the part of Guymast Inc. to improve every aspect of its software.
The new screen-input module is the most visible update, but behind the scenes Guymast has begun the introduction of a common spatial frame analysis engine capable of analyzing latticed and tubular self-supporting and guyed towers.
Check out the Features and Coming Attractions sections below for more on what is included in the current release of GUYMAST^®-G and what features are planned.

GUYMAST^®-G has "Gone Gold" which means it is production-ready, and can be trusted to exhibit the same quality you have come to expect from Guymast software over the years.
With GUYMAST^®-G, Guymast Inc. has introduced a new licensing model that makes GUYMAST^®-G a natural fit for every organization:

lower initial investment (a GUYMAST^®-G license costs less than half the license fee for Tower)
dedicated Support, and regular Updates and Maintenance are included for one year from the purchase date (one year SUM plan included)
continuation of the SUM plan beyond the first year may be purchased on a yearly basis for 15% of the then-current purchase price of GUYMAST^®-G
if you choose not to continue the SUM plan you can keep using the version of GUYMAST^®-G you have licensed
if you want to rejoin the SUM plan you can^¤

¤Catch-up fees may apply.

To purchase, or inquire about purchasing, a license for GUYMAST^®-G email towers@guymast.com or phone 416-736-7453.

GUYMAST^®-G Features

import models from previous Guymast software

when creating a new project you can base it on a tower that was previously modelled in MASTLOD™ using the "Load From .DAT File" option

screen input module

on-screen table layout eliminates the need for secondary reference material (e.g. table formats and layout) and memorization
range checking for each piece of data, as it is entered, helps catch obvious input errors as they occur, improving efficiency
consistency checking before analysis begins, diagnoses modelling errors directly, also improving efficiency
built-in file management removes the need for handling all the different types of files, click a button to run the analysis, and then another to view reports in text and graphical formats

improved modelling options

group Discrete Appurtenances (formerly Other Mountings) so that the loads from your antenna mount, ice guard, etc. is reported as a single unit
freedom in positioning your Linear Appurtenances (Transmission Lines and Ladders) any way you like by specifying a distance and azimuth at the top of the appurtenance as well as at the bottom
take advantage of Revision G's Transmission Line Clusters to reduce the loads applied to the tower due to such configurations
specify complete Material Properties including Elastic Modulus, Strength (Fu, Fy), and a Temperature Coefficient to facilitate strength calculations

advanced graphical reporting

export to AutoCAD*: tower profile and plan view drawings
view graphical representations of forces in guyed towers, in formats previously reserved for self-supporting towers, and vice versa
for towers that require the consideration of pattern loading under TIA-222-G, view the load patterns applied

based on the original Guymast software
(existing features are still available)

layered approach to toward modelling: provide properties by elevation for geometry, materials uses, material resistances, and exposure factors
specific modelling of ladders, transmission lines, microwave antennas, and passive reflectors
complete freedom in modelling generic discrete appurtenances and providing pre-calculated loads for everything else

and many more ...
