Based on the model equivalence principle, the structural model of power pylons is designed and fabricated. The internal structure of power pylons is analyzed in terms of strength and stiffness under all levels of loading, and the structural stress and Z-directional displacement shapes are simulated and analyzed under typical operating conditions to verify the reasonableness of the model and provide reference for the subsequent design optimization of power pylon structures.
