TOWER Demo 10.4

TOWER Demo by Power Line Systems, Inc.

TOWER Demo is the evaluation edition of Power Line Systems’ TOWER software, designed for the analysis and design of lattice steel transmission towers. It lets engineers explore the full workflow—from 3D modeling and application of line and structure loads to structural analysis, code-based checks, and report generation—within an intuitive, industry-proven environment. Tightly integrated with the PLS-CADD ecosystem, TOWER Demo helps users assess how the software fits into real-world transmission line design projects.

Key capabilities:

• Create detailed 3D models of lattice towers, including legs, bracing, panels, and attachments.
• Apply typical transmission line load cases (e.g., wind, ice, broken conductor, construction/maintenance) and generate load combinations.
• Perform structural analysis to evaluate member forces, deflections, stability, and foundation reactions.
• Check member capacities and connections against commonly used industry codes and standards.
• Optimize designs for weight and cost, compare alternatives, and streamline iteration.
• Produce calculation summaries, material takeoffs, and customizable reports.
• Exchange geometry and loading data with PLS-CADD and align with broader utility workflows.

Demo notes:

• The demo is intended for evaluation and training. It may limit project size, saving, printing/exporting, or access to certain advanced features and is not intended for production use.

Ideal users:

• Transmission line and structural engineers, utilities, EPC firms, tower manufacturers, and educators seeking a proven toolset for lattice tower design and analysis.
