OpenTower Designer
Design Software for Communication Towers
Efficiently design and model towers, such as lattice towers and guyed masts, as well as equipment such as antennas, mounts, and linear appurtenances, with powerful 3D modeling. Bentley’s tower applications are built to specifically suit your tower workflows and optimize design time. With both graphical and text-based definitions of tower structures, you can design and complete projects faster than ever.
You can leverage a comprehensive library of panel types and ancillary equipment that enable quick creation of the structure; automatically generate loads for any number of directions with user-defined topographic configurations and quickly perform design checks; and create reports with virtually any output – from structure data to loading analysis results to design capacities for members and bolts.
When designing in accordance with U.S. design standards, you will save time and complete projects faster through automatic scenario creation by combining geometric layers, equipment grouping, and loading criteria. You can also create a physical model by applying hierarchical modification layers with revision history on top of the base geometry using built-in business logic.
