So how does a change in geometry influence axial forces in the tower?
In the diagram below, try changing the tower shape by dragging the nodes at the top and bottom.
· What happens to the reaction forces at the base of the towers?
· Compare the axial forces in the towers for various geometries.
· Change the wind load to see how affects the forces.
