Zusammenfassung:Apparatuses, methods, and systems for generation of antenna tower structures are disclosed. One method includes receiving structure requirements of a tower, iterating a design of the tower, including selecting tower design features, determining a structural model from the structure requirements and the tower design features, defining an outline of the tower based on structure requirements and tower design features, defining nodal points of the design of the tower based on the outline, defining line-elements of the design of the tower based on the nodal points, performing low-order structural analysis based on the structural model and a modeled behavior assigned to the line-elements including determining a wind load for each line element, determining nodal displacements and material failure indices based at least on the wind load for each line element, and redetermining the structural model when the nodal displacements and material failure indices indicate failure.
