Advanced baseplate design with CBFEM
Want to design safer and more optimized baseplate solutions? Component-Based Finite Element Method (CBFEM) is a trusted calculation approach for structural connection design, adopted by IDEA StatiCa and the HILTI PROFIS Engineering Suite. It enables precise analysis and design of steel and concrete connections, allowing engineers to assess real-world behavior, including prying effects. This comprehensive approach supports the design of key elements such as welds, stiffeners, baseplates, and concrete checks. In this session, you will gain a deeper understanding of CBFEM, explore base plate design methods including both conventional approaches and CB-FEM, learn how to use software correctly for baseplate design, and understand how to handle challenging scenarios and special cases in baseplate applications.
