Software 201: Profis Engineering Base Plate Design

Featuring Two Base Plate Design Methods - AISC Design Guide 1 & Finite Element Analysis

This course will provide you an extensive knowledge on two different methodologies for base plate design and analysis. We explain AISC Design Guide 1 and dive into the details of this method, look at assumptions that help simplify the design and analysis of base plates using this method. Then we transition into our second type of base plate design methodology based on Finite element Analysis and then lead into Component Based FEA. You will find hand calculation methods and Profis Engineering examples at the end of some chapters.

AISC Design Guide 1 - Rigid Base Plate Solution
In this chapter we will explain the first of the two methodologies based on AISC Design Guide 1, 2nd edition. You will learn step by step how to calculate a base plate using rigid assumption of AISC DG1.

AISC Design Guide 1 - Rigid Base Plate Solution - Example
In this chapter, we will give you a base plate example in Profis Engineering by using rigid assumption and justifying the results using hand calculations using the formulas shown in the previous chapter.

Finite Element Analysis (FEM) Based non-rigid Solution
In this chapter, we will dive into finite element analysis and will try to explain you every aspect of it. You will learn and understand why non-rigid / non-linear design approach is crucial and why you should always make the check if your calculations reflect the rigidity you are aiming in your designs.

Finite Element Analysis (FEM) Based non-rigid Solution - Example
In this chapter, we will go over an example in Profis Engineering and try to explain you the fine details of what we have explained to you in our previous chapter.
