One of the most tedious and time consuming tasks facing an engineer during the process of designing and analyzing towers is that of calculating wind, ice, and gravity loadings to be applied to latticed towers.
These calculations are especially tedious for self-supporting towers where the tower changes with height, both in profile and member sizes.
Whether the tower is self-supporting or guyed, of prismatic or tapered profile, of triangular or square cross-section, the calculation of loadings is simple enough to be a waste of an engineer's time, and tedious enough to cause human error to become a factor.

Fortunately, Guymast Inc. provides a product that facilitates these calculation and integrates with its analysis software.

MASTLOD^TM, like other Guymast products, uses simple tabular input, and a specialized analysis engine, to reduce the time spent modeling while producing more accurate and reliable results.
Hundreds of MASTLOD^TM users in North America, and around the world, find the tabular output very handy, and the ability to generate input files for the GUYMAST^® and MAST^TM analysis software indispensable.

MASTLOD^TM delivers a powerful set of features that improve engineering efficiency and quality.
