Designing a steel baseplate is only half the process—what about the concrete base below and the embedded anchors? This is where the Anchor Bolt module comes in, offering powerful capabilities on its own. Its impact is further amplified through integration with the Baseplate module via a design link, which exports anchor forces, geometry, and layout […]
