How does iTOWERS Designer software
help improve our business?
On one side, iTOWERS Designer
ensures optimum and precise
design solution and at the same
time on the other side it saves
enormous time and manpower which
is a major step towards meeting
organizational demand. For the
first time, you can have the
luxury of creating a final and
complete tower designs even
at a pre-tender or bidding stage.
This gives you greater accuracy
for costing and in proposal
development. As a result, you
incur less risk and can gain
an edge over the competitors.
Multiple design alternatives
are matter of a few keystrokes
- not hours of re-doings. You
sharply reduce design cycle
times and produce optimal designs
- saving time and money.
iTOWERS Designer provides your
structural engineer a full flexibility
in terms of trying different
iterations in terms of tower
dimensions, patterns, use of
different steels and different
shapes and so on with the help
of user up-gradable libraries.
In
what way is iTOWERS Designer
better than other software packages?
Using iTOWERS Designer software
you can complete the design
of a tower within a very short
time, and multiple alternatives
within minutes. This software
considers redundant members
into analysis. It can analyze
the tower for multiple tower
combinations in one run. iTOWERS
Designer saves the tower design
engineers the confusion and
expense of using unrelated software
tools from different vendors
to accomplish what should be
related tasks - Tower geometry
generation, Load calculations,
Structural analysis, Graphical
verification, Design report
and drawings generation.
What
is the advantage of considering
redundant members in the analysis?
With redundant members being
a part of tower geometry the
following can be achieved automatically
which otherwise have to worked
out side the program and are
very tedious job:
Accurate wind load computations
and self weight of the tower
Accurate member forces in
the redundant members also
as a result
of analysis
Automatic redundant member
design for various design
requirements
( bending loads, capacity
to carry a %age of connected
member force etc)
Effective length of primary
/ secondary bracings
What is the advantage of multiple
tower combinations? With iTOWERS Designer there
is no restriction to limit your
analysis to only one tower combination,
which is assumed to be the critical
combination. Using iTOWERS Designer
analysis can be carried with
all possible tower combinations
for all load cases and each
member is designed for the critical
force arising from the most
critical tower combination and
the most stringent load case.
This will remove the risk of
assumption of critical combination
taken by any design engineer,
which in turn makes the tower
safe.
How much time is needed to complete
one tower design including generation
of design reports and design
drawings, using iTOWERS Designer? A standard 400 kV D/C tower
design can be completed within
an hour. All design reports
and design drawings are generated
automatically as a logical consequence
of the tower design. No further
secretarial help and drafting
team is required.
How to input various input parameters
to iTOWERS Designer software?
iTOWERS Designer has intelligent
and intuitive graphical input
interfaces that are very easy
to operate.
How
does your software help preventing
prototype tower failure during
tower testing?
iTOWERS software helps the engineer
analyze all towers with redundant
members for all possible tower
combinations and for all load
cases. iTOWERS Designer software
has been extensively used and
validated in a live, practical
industry environment by various
national and international clients.
iTOWERS Designer has been used
to design many prestigious international
projects.
