Support

Guymast Inc. is committed to providing the highest-quality support to our clients. Support requests fall into two categories — computer-related and data-related — and we're here for both.

How to get help

Every Guymast product ships with thorough user manuals that guide you through the analysis process — the basic model, modeling options, input requirements, and output features. New users often have as many questions about tower design and the analysis process as about the software itself; those users are very well served by our workshops.

Current Guymast clients can get support by telephone, through the request form on this page, or by emailing support@guymast.com.

When you email us, please include

  • A meaningful subject line (e.g. “GUYMASTER error message”)
  • Your name, company, phone, and email
  • The name and set number on the port device used to run the software
  • The program you're having trouble with and any error messages shown
  • A clear description of what you were doing and what the program did

Workshops

Training

Through its association with Weisman Consultants Inc., Guymast provides expert training in tower analysis, design, and inspection.

  • Analysis workshops guide engineers through the full process — from data entry and troubleshooting to interpreting results and designing reinforcements.
  • Inspection workshops take place at an actual tower site, showing you how to check alignment, measure guy tensions, and what to look for on the mast and appurtenances.

Learn from working tower engineers

Our workshops are led by practicing engineers who routinely design and inspect towers, bringing real-world experience directly into the training.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Which standards do Guymast programs support?

Guymast software is able to perform analysis which addresses the requirements of the following standards: TIA/EIA-222 (US), CSA S37 (Canada), IS 875 (Indian) and AS 3995 , AS/NZS 1170 (Australia).

Can I reuse data from older versions of the software (TOWER)?

Yes. GUYMASTER imports older .DAT files and automatically converts them to the new format, so you don't have to re-enter data you've already prepared.

Can Guymast software analyze monopoles?

Yes. Monopoles are analyzed with the POLEMAST module inside GUYMASTER, alongside guyed-tower and self-supporting analysis.

What units can I use?

Both Imperial and Metric (SI). For many programs the input and output units can even be set differently.

Do I need a hardware key?

Our classic software uses a hardware port/USB key (drivers are on the Downloads page). The new GUYMASTER Renderer uses modern cloud-based licensing with no dongle required.

Will Guymast software design towers for me?

Guymast software is not design software, but it is an indispensable tool in the design process. Its simple modelling and easily understood reporting provide the necessary feedback to help the engineer make good design decisions.

I have a laptop for working in the field and a desktop for working at the office, do I need two copies of the software?

No, Guymast Inc.'s licensing agreement allows you to install the software on more than one computer, provided that you only use one at a time.

Since the software will only run if the hardware device is installed on the computer you are using, you cannot run it on more than one computer at a time. Be careful when you move the hardware device from computer to computer; if the device is damaged, you have lost your license and will have to buy another!
