OpenTower - Communication Tower Analysis and Design Software
From Communication Tower Design
Designing and analyzing communication towers without the right software for the job makes things harder than they need to be. With OpenTower you can efficiently design, model, and visualize communication towers. With both graphical and text-based definitions of tower structures, you can design and complete projects faster than ever.

What is OpenTower?
OpenTower is a purpose-built solution for telecommunication tower analysis and design that captures real-life workflows, including tower modification, multiple scenario evaluations, foundation checks, and connection designs. It connects to equipment databases to automatically generate wind and seismic loadings, analyze the structure, and produce custom reports. The application’s advanced graphics show a realistic view of the tower, including 3D rendering of equipment and feedlines.
If you are looking to improve efficiency on your next tower project, you are in the right place. With OpenTower you can efficiently design and model towers, such as lattice towers and guyed masts, as well as equipment like antennas, mounts, and linear appurtenances.
Bentley’s tower applications are built to specifically suit tower workflows to optimize design time. With both graphical and text-based definitions of tower structures, you can design and complete projects faster than ever.
- Create realistic graphics with precision
Save time and rework with powerful 3D physical modeling and visualize the 3D model with appurtenances to understand the exact positioning of equipment and feedlines.
- Configure and customize libraries
Leverage a comprehensive library of panel types and ancillary equipment as well as in-application bracing, equipment, and section profile libraries so it’s easy to add antenna, dish, TME, feedlines, and attachment equipment from major manufacturers or you can choose to customize your own.
- Design connections
Automatically understand the effects of connections on member design calculations and check efficiencies. OpenTower makes it easy to define member connections with various bolt patterns and even offers pre-defined bolt configurations.
- Design tower foundations
(U.S. code) Integrated foundation design for tower legs and guy support points, including pad-pier, drilled pier, guy anchor foundations and mat foundations helps maintain a streamlined workflow.
- Import models from other applications
When working from an existing model it’s easy to import files from another application to quickly put OpenTower to work. You can import models from other applications such as TnxTower (U.S.) or MS Tower.
- Perform advanced analysis
Analyze and design monopoles and self-supporting and guyed communication towers and automatically generate loads for any number of directions with user-defined topographic configurations. You can also define cluster formation of linear ancillaries and resistance ancillaries. Perform sub-truss analysis or minimum bracing resistance check, static applicability check, asymmetric ice loading or escalated ice, segmental guy cables, auto patch loading, and guy rupture analysis.
- Create reports
Create reports from structure data to loading analysis results to design capacities for members and bolts.
