Overview
Overview
TSE Pole is a powerful and easy to use application for the analysis and design of virtually any transmission or substation tubular structure including poles, H-frames, A-Frames, and X-Frames.
Model any type of tubular structures
TSE Pole is a powerful and comprehensive program for the analysis and design of transmission tubular poles and multi-pole frames. The program also designs the base plates and anchor rods.
Generate poles automatically
The software includes productive features for generating any type of tubular poles and multi-pole structures. Engineers can model faster than ever using the advanced graphical functions. Standard libraries also include materials and sections. TSE Pole is a powerful solution to do advanced design of tubular poles.

Automatic calculation of drag coefficients, gust factors and topographic parameters.
Analysis methods in TSE Pole include:
– Static linear and P-Delta
– Static non-linear
– Buckling
– Natural frequencies
– Seismic and dynamic
Automatic handling of tension-only members.
Design
Design specifications
Available design provisions include:
– ASCE Manual No. 72
– ASCE/SEI 48-11
Table to define the slenderness ratios of the members that will be considered in the design of the structure. The slenderness ratios should be specified as an equivalent slenderness for members with a variable inertia.
Calculates the member’s resistance for bending, compression, tension, shear and combined loads.
Calculates the internal stresses for the tubes, anchorage bolts and base plates. Design the base plate and bolts.
Member design
Member Design
Member capacities may be checked against the international design standards ASCE Manual No. 72 and ASCE/SEI 48-11. Extensive types of checks performed by the program include slenderness, buckling, anchor, anchor rod strength, tensile and compression strengths, shear, bending and combined loads.
Results and Reports
Comprehensive reports provided
TSE Pole provides you with rich inquiry tools to review the results on screen and an exhaustive set of results and diagrams. It displays compression curves, deflection, axial forces, torsion, bending moments and stress diagrams.
The program also displays results numerically by means of tables. Customizable and easy to create reports generation is provided in several formats.
Towers can be shown as lines, wire frames or can be rendered as 3D polygon surfaces.
Results can be visualized either graphically or numerically.
Input data and results may be printed for the whole structures or partial structures using graphical selection or a range of elements.
Customized list of input and results to be printed.
TSE Pole provides an exhaustive set of results features that include graphical views, diagrams, spreadsheets and text reports.
