Design with Elastic Base Plate, using a practical base plate thickness generating realistic results
3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Prying Loading is considered
If designing with a rigid base plate assumption, AFOS® anchor design software can calculate the base plate thickness for this assumption to be valid.
Complex custom base plate shapes, and anchor arrangements
Various structural profiles including stiffener plates
100 year design life calculation for chemical anchors
Seismic design to AS 5216:2021
Design of redundant non-structural systems to AS 5216:2021
Displacement and rotation of the profile are calculated
Concrete compression stresses are calculated
The accuracy of our anchor tension force calculation using elastic base plate methodology with FEA has been verified with laboratory testing and is published in peer reviewed engineering publications.
The base version of the software has been tested and certified by the Institute of Construction Materials at the University of Stuttgart, Germany.
3D FEA gives more accurate and realistic results than 2D FEA
Independently developed anchor design software without manufacturer/supplier bias
Design is made easy with an intuitive interface.
All inputs and results are visible on the same screen, no multiple tabs or screens to flick through.
Calculation results are updated instantly
Fast
