Hello @lcpt, I am very happy for being in this community. I am a civil design engineer from Iran. We use ACI code for concrete and AISC for steel structure design.

Do your software support ACI318-2019 for design?

[lcpt]

Hi @ebrahimraeyat I think we have already talked some time ago, nice to meet you again.

About ACI318 we don't have implemented the checking routines for this code yet. As regards the AISC code there is already some work done you can take a look here and here.

At present, we are quite busy developing verification of steel connections using CBFEM and creating a module to import geometry from FreeCAD.

Thanks @lcpt yes we talked some time ago. I wanted to apply OpenSees solver in FreeCAD, related URL:

And for CBFEM, I am very excited in Baseplate design:
CBFEM FreeCAD

can you show me an example of baseplate design in XC? Thank you so much

[lcpt]

Of course, I can. There it goes:

Wow, it seems it is very advanced analysis. Is this files is in test directory?
In several months ago I wanted to write a software in FreeCAD for designing Base Plate like this, you can download it for free:

Good initiative, congratulations!

About the example of the images, we need to clean and reorganize the code before putting an example on the repository. Any help is welcome :)
