Validate structural members of lifting devices using ASME BTH-1 (2017) with SDC Verifier. Implement checks for I-shapes, channels, tubes, and bars — with support for critical factors like bracing, design categories, and lateral-torsional buckling. Ensure safety and compliance for cranes, hoists, and custom lifters with direct integration into your FEA workflow.
The ASME BTH-1 standard provides the structural design criteria for below-the-hook lifting devices used in material handling. It outlines minimum requirements for mechanical strength, safety factors, and buckling resistance. ASME BTH-1 (2017) supports design categories (A, B, C) based on operational risk and uses allowable stress methods for tension, compression, bending, and shear.
In SDC Verifier, this standard is implemented with full support for member classification, net area reductions, bracing conditions, and moment modification factors (Cb). You can apply these checks to symmetric structural sections like I-beams, channels, tubes, and bars.
Work directly within Ansys, Femap, or Simcenter 3D without switching platforms.
Instantly identify beams, plates, welds, and joints in your FEA model.
Perform code checks with built-in support for ABS, AISC, Eurocode, API, and more.
Detect overstressed areas and refine your design with data-driven decisions.
Generate customizable, fully traceable reports with all calculations and references.
