OpenTower: Self-Supporting Towers

This Virtuosity OpenTower CONNECT Edition training is for beginners and tower engineers who want to learn the various features and possibilities of the software.

In this course, we will go through the process of creating a self-supporting/lattice tower and simultaneously understand the workflow to utilize the application to the best of its ability.

You will be able to model along with the instructor or use your own tower data to gain a lucid understanding of the application.

The training is imparted by Aditya Chatterjee, with excellent cooperation from Saurab Mamgain and Atanu Bhowal. It shows the step-by-step process starting with creating tower geometry, creating work order, providing wind and seismic loads, providing appurtenances, creating foundation design, performing analysis and report creation.

The course is divided into eight sections:

• Introduction
• Tower Geometry
• Work Order
• Loading Definition
• Appurtenances
• Foundation Definition
• Analysis and Report
• Life Cycle Management

Duration: 2 hours

Presented by: Aditya Chatterjee, Saurab Mamgain, and Atanu Bhowal
