TSE TOWER is one of the applications of the TSE
Tower Structural Engineering group of products. The
TSE TOWER is a powerful and comprehensive
Microsoft Windows program for the analysis and
design of steel transmission structures, such as
transmission latticed towers and electrical
substations to a range of international standards. An
extensive library of panel types allow for quick
creation of the structure through parametric tools.
TSE TOWER is the result of more than 30 years of
research and development based on our 3D
structural analysis technologies.

TRANSMISSION TOWERS STRUCTURES
SAFI TOWER includes powerful and productive
features for generating any type of latticed
transmission tower. Engineers can now model faster
than ever using the parametric wizard generator and
Panel libraries. Panels can be defined by the user
through Panel Editor, or selected from a standard
panel library. Standard libraries also include materials
and sections.

ADVANCED ANALYSIS
TSE TOWER includes a wide range of
advanced analysis methods such as linear,
non-linear, P-Delta, buckling, natural
frequencies, seismic and dynamic analysis.
Wind and ice loads can be computed
automatically in accordance with many
international loading codes. The load
generator wizard allows the user to easily
create basic loads, loads and load
combinations.

MEMBERS DESIGN
Member capacities may be checked
against the international design standard
ASCE 10-97. Extensive types of checks
performed by the program include
slenderness, buckling, connection strength,
anchor rod strength, tensile and
compression strengths. The user can
optionally checks bending, shear and
torsion strengths. TSE TOWER is a powerful
solution to do advanced design of tower
and substation.

POWERFUL RESULTS AND
DIAGRAMS
TSE TOWER provides you with rich inquiry tools to
review the results on screen and an exhaustive set
of results and diagrams. It displays compression
curves, deflection, axial forces, torsion, bending
moments and stress diagrams. Also, it displays
results numerically by means of tables.
Customizable and easy to create reports
generation is provided in several formats.
