(I call stiffeners “braces”).
I made a model without angled bracing.

@johnwang I downloaded your first file but I still haven’t figured out how to install and link Frame3dd to FreeCAD. Remember our previous discussion last year. I will have to try again next week. This is what my screen looks like when I open your file on my Debian based MX Linux operating system.
Those displacements look very small?

2. Can this tower rotate? or to put it another way "twist" on its vertical axis?
Here the two forces in opposite direction to twist the front frame. No force on the second row frame.

The dat file is for Mystran solver.
I didn't check the steel profile. My input may be different, so the displacements.
