Blog Post: Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design

Comment on this article

Certain truss tower configurations, such as tall and narrow structures, are particularly vulnerable to buckling under heavy loads. Using simulation, we can explore a series of design iterations to build a truss tower with a low risk of buckling. Modelling how different loads act on a truss tower structure can be a complex task, but with simulation apps, we can hide the intricate physics behind a customised user interface. With a truss tower simulation app, we can easily make design changes and run simulation tests that will automatically take the various loads into account for a safer and stronger design.
