How to use this template
1) Fill 'Inputs' first (wind speed, unit weights, categories).
2) In 'Segments', list each tower segment or member with its mass/length (kg/m).
Use supplier section tables or compute from section geometry.
3) In 'Equipment', enter all mounted items with quantities, masses, EPA (effective projected area), and heights.
4) In 'Foundation', enter concrete volumes and rebar mass (or add more lines for piles/pedestals).
5) 'Wind' sheet computes simplified lateral forces using q = 0.613·V^2 (SI).
For full compliance with TIA-222/EN standards (gust, exposure, directionality), replace with your code procedure.
6) 'Summary' aggregates gravity and wind results.
Units: forces in kN, moments in kN·m, masses in kg, lengths in m, areas in m².
This is a neutral starting point—adapt to your organization's methodology.
