Bentley OpenTower Designer 24.00: Telecom Tower Design Software

OpenTower Designer 24.00 is Bentley’s purpose-built software for telecommunication tower analysis and design, supporting monopoles, self-supported towers (SST), and guyed masts . The version 24.00.01.02 update focuses on SPEED, delivering nearly 30% faster performance in file opening, scenario activation, and structural analysis .

Key Features in Version 24.00

Performance & Speed

• Faster Structural Analysis: New algorithms boost performance during file opening, scenario activation, and structural analysis, completing tasks nearly 30% faster

Enhanced Design Tools

• Asymmetric Section Orientation: Define properties manually in the main interface or via TD file for improved member design assessment

• Ancillary Import: Import TWR files multiple times into a model, streamlining import workflows

• Spreadsheet Interoperability: Import large ancillary equipment data from spreadsheets; export existing appurtenance groups as templates

Scenario Analysis

• Layered Analytical Modeling: Create and evaluate multiple “what-if” scenarios by combining base geometry, modification layers, equipment groupings, and loading definitions – all within a single model file

• Historical Tracking: Save scenarios for future reference, maintaining project history and structural lifecycle data
