Following are the software solutions that Bentley provides to the communications industry.

1. Bentley Coax V8i:

Design and Management of Coax Networks Bentley Coax is a robust RF design engineering product that creates an intelligent coax network model during the design process. Bentley Coax works with Bentley Fiber and Bentley Inside Plant to create an end-toend network model, allowing an HFC network to be analyzed at any level and ensuring accurate network documentation. It will interactively calculate the optimum design while placing equipment and cables for new, upgrade, and/or rebuild network designs. The engineering calculations are based on configurable equipment specifications. Bentley Coax maintains network and design connectivity as devices are inserted, removed, or changed. The designer is prompted to reconnect the network when appropriate and can choose to automatically perform a recalculation of the design, either for the active route or globally. This guarantees the design is always within specification. A variety of detailed engineering reports can be generated to support the design including bills of material. After the design has been completed, Bentley Coax allows designers to power the plant. Powering is based on user defined boundaries and shapes that define the area to be powered. When powering equipment is added to the design, Bentley Coax will trace the network, calculating the current draw and voltage requirements. Detailed

It constructs the physical model and categorizes the panels, legs, horizontals and bracing members with orientations without manual intervention. The structure can easily be edited to achieve the desired shape and configuration. With STAAD.Tower, external components like antennas, appurtenances, and platforms can easily be attached and can generate wind, ice, and seismic loads following the TIA codes along with other standard reference loads. The robust analysis and design engine (as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G codes) helps to minimize efforts to obtain the analysis and design results. It also offers a vast range of post-processing graphs and diagrams. Additionally, STAAD.Tower provides a customizable and user-friendly report generation facility and also ensures bi-directional interoperability with other STAAD products.

Features:
STAAD.Tower currently offers these features:

Wizard driven parametric physical model generation creates square and triangular self-supporting and guyed towers, and monopoles. This feature enhances productivity through faster model generation wizards and saves time on overall parametric editing of the physical model. sbpimpale@gmail.com

Bentley Solutions for Indian Communications Industry A study

An built in library of standard bracing patterns with facilities to create userdefined ones provides smooth automatic generation of analytical structures for any user defined physical model and increases productivity by providing a library of reusable bracing patterns. Extensive parametric editing facilities to incorporate changes in a towers overall shape and slope, panel dimensions, and panel face configurations increases productivity by providing continuous change management. Intuitive physical member creation with appropriate orientation saves time on overall member creation. Easy to use drag and drop features for inserting components from a built in database like dish antennas, appurtenances, and platforms with facilities to adjust mounting pattern, location, tilt, and azimuth angles enhances overall profitability by letting you use and maintain component catalogs. Automatic generation of wind, ice, and seismic load cases for tower structures and external attachments as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards saves time and allows investigation of whatif scenarios. Linear static analysis and second-order analysis saves time and allows investigation of whatif scenarios. Post-processing features including joint displacements, member forces, stresses, support reactions, leg compression, deflection, tilt, and twist results in terms of diagrams and tables enable you to have detailed insight of the analysis results and help to plot multiple post-processing diagrams for a selective set of physical members for complex structures. Design of physical members as per TIA-222-F and TIA-222-G standards reduces errors due to complex calculations. A customizable, user-friendly, exhaustive report generation facility to create all exhaustive, complete reports straight from the software avoids manual report compilation activities and establishes dynamic update links and saves time in regenerating the desired report. Bi-directional interoperability with other STAAD products avoids duplication of efforts in case you need to transfer the model to other products. This saves time in generating a composite structure that involves both STAAD.FEM and STAAD.Tower.
