Baseplate - Salient Features

Design & Standards

  • Most cost-effective baseplate design to international codes.
  • Supports rolled, built-up, and user-defined profiles for column and shear key.

Load Management

  • Handles up to 10 support joints and 500 load combinations (LCs).
  • Smart Load Management: Automatically applies governing load combinations.
  • Converts reactions from structure global to baseplate local axes at a single click.

Design Checks

  • Continuous verification of bolt edge/end distance, pitch, gauge, and baseplate size.
  • Checks anchors, stiffeners, and shear key sizing against governing loads.

Reinforcement & Detailing

  • Generates scaled DXF drawings with exact dimensions, annotations, and organized layers, dimension styles, and text styles.
  • Includes anchor clearance control with user-defined limits.

DXF Output & Documentation

  • Seamless DXF outputs ready for detailing or 3D modeling.
  • Produces step-by-step calculation reports with BOQ for all components.
  • Eliminates dependency on external CAD software.

Additional Features

  • Computes minimum pedestal size based on bolt diameter, baseplate size, and governing inputs.
  • Fully compliant with Oil & Gas practices (PIPs and DEPs).
  • Wide applicability across structural and industrial projects.
