Mount analysis software with 3D graphics

Until now, mount analysis professionals have had to make do with general-purpose structural analysis software and develop internal spreadsheet tools for loading generation. It has led to discrete workflow, excess modeling time, and overly conservative designs. OpenTower Mount Analysis brings you the first purpose-built mount analysis solution on the market. Realistic 3D graphics, antenna/mount databases, and a wind load generator are just some of the advantages guaranteed to shave unnecessary man-hours and make for the most economical designs.

OpenTower Mount Analysis gives users access to a vast library of antennas and pre-built mounts such as sector frames, platforms, and T-arms which saves users from having to model these from scratch. It also has a wind load generator to automatically apply wind at intervals around the mount for quick and thorough analysis. It’s advanced 3D graphics make model visualization a breeze.

If you’re looking to save time and money, Mount Analysis has you covered.
