Design your Tower in a Minute with ASMTower!!
ASMTower streamlines the design of self-supporting towers by using its amazing optimization feature and performs the design with minimal effort and time. It offers great flexibility to designers by allowing them to control the sections and final utilization ratio of main leg and bracing members.ASMTower offers two optimization methods:
The first method keeps the tower width unchanged while adjusting member sizes to achieve the desired utilization ratio. The second optimization method involves changing both the face width and member sizes to achieve the least weight, allowing for input of a range for the bottom and top face width and software then adjusts both the member sizes and face widths to achieve the desired result.
ASMTower provides detailed charts that describe the total weight of each iteration, as well as face width and deflection.
This level of detail and analysis is incredibly helpful for designers, allowing them to make informed decisions and adjustments as needed.
By automating and optimizing the tower design process while providing detailed analysis, ASMTower saves designers a significant amount of time and money, making it a highly valuable tool in the industry.
ASMTower performs the required structural analysis and designs according to the requirements of the design code used.
Following is the available design codes in the software:
- ANSI/TIA-222-G
- ANSI/TIA-222-H
- ANSI/TIA-222-I
- EN1993-3-1 accompanied by numerous national annexes.

ASMTower features
ASMTower was created by tower design experts at ASMTechnologies with the goal of simplifying the tower design process.
The software streamlines the design of both towers and their foundations and facilitates the creation of fabrication drawings.
ASMTower is capable of designing towers in accordance with both the American standards ANSI/TIA-222-G, H & I and the European standard EN1993-3-1 along with its national annexes.
ASMTower processes
- User inputs structure data.
- The software performs load calculation.
- FE model is created and analyzed by the software.
- Members and bolt connections are checked by the software.
- Detailed report is generated by the software.
Analyzes and design
ASMTower utilizes both the American standards ANSI/TIA-222-I, ANSI/TIA-222-H and ANSI/TIA-222-G, as well as the European standard En1993-3-1, to analyze and design towers. The software automatically generates Dead load, Wind load, Ice load, and Guy load for the entire structure. ASMTower creates a 3D frame-truss model of the structure and calculates the straining actions on all members, as well as tower deformation.
3D Graphical presentation
ASMTower provides a complete 3D visualization of the structure, as well as its appurtenances, transmission lines, and ladders. This feature simplifies the structure review process and provides an accurate representation of the structure.
Types of supported structures
ASMTower can design the following types of structures:
- Three or four sided self-supporting towers
- Three or four sided guyed towers
- All types of tapered/stepped monopoles (round, 20-sided, 18-sided, 16-sided, 12-sided, and 8-sided)
- Guyed poles
- Structures with strut members (typically used in rooftop structures)
- Non-penetrated base structures
Additionally, the software can handle structures that are a combination of the above types.
