GUYMASTER

One interface for the whole job. GUYMASTER is the umbrella application that brings every Guymast analysis and drawing tool together as built-in modules — so you model, analyze, draw, and review without ever leaving the project.

Latest: v8.3.5

GUYMASTER enhances the ability of tower designers and analysts to execute their work efficiently — with minimal effort, but with considerable power to analyze all the critical conditions for these structures, using the TIA-222 (USA), CSA S37 (Canada), IS (India) and AS/NZS (Australia) standards. Other standards are added as needs are identified.

Analysis modules

Every structure, one workspace

Specialized FEM models keep input and output to the minimum needed to convey the important results — all in the terms tower engineers use every day.

GUYMAST®

Guyed towers

The flagship FEM engine for guyed towers — handling the complex non-linear interaction between the guy system and the mast. The considerable variability in appurtenances, both linear and discrete, makes the analysis and design of these structures even more complicated.

MAST

Self-Supporting towers

Powerful FEM software tool for the analysis of self-supporting towers. The features of the model allow for the quick and accurate engineering analysis of self-supporting towers.

POLEMAST

Monopoles

Dedicated monopole analysis built right in including self-supporting and guyed poles.

DrawTower

2D drawings, generated from your model

During the design and analysis process it is important that the engineer get some feedback about the model being used. The most convenient way to achieve this is using a graphical representation of the tower model and analysis outcomes. These graphical representations are also useful in communicating the final results and recommendations to the client.
