Platform Overview
TowerPlot is a web-based structural analysis platform for self-supporting lattice towers used in telecommunications. It combines 3D digital twin visualization with a finite element solver implementing TIA-222-F/G/H wind loading and AISC 360-16 capacity checks.
No software to install — everything runs in your browser.
