Run structural checks on lifting members directly in SDC Verifier with parameters and criteria defined in the latest edition of the standard.
The 2023 edition of ASME BTH-1 (Design of Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices) sets the structural design requirements for lifting devices such as spreader bars, lifting beams, and frames. It is fully implemented in SDC Verifier for automated member checks based on cross-section geometry, bracing conditions, and specified design category.
Supported cross-section types:
ASME BTH-1:2023 is part of a long-standing series of standards ensuring safe design practices for lifting devices. It is aligned with ASME B30.20, covering construction, marking, and operational requirements. While the 2023 edition includes minor refinements, the underlying methodology remains consistent with the 2017 and 2020 editions.
Designers can choose the edition that best matches the project specifications or compliance obligations.
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.
