Profis warnings?

The below warnings appear at the report :
You can improve your design by optimising the baseplate geometry.
You can improve your design by optimising the layout of your anchors.
No standard item number available. Please contact Hilti to check feasibility of supply.
Baseplate thickness optimisation and stress distribution determination cannot be performed if the baseplate is outside a 600 x 600 mm boundary.

automatically optimisation of baseplate and anchor geometry,non standard items

Thank you for the enquiry. Ok what you have here is the software letting you know that it is possible to improve your current arrangement e.g. smaller baseplate, anchor spacing, embedment depth etc to make the detail a more efficient design based upon your load inputs . It may lead you to having a higher or lower utilisation than currently modelled. The none standard item number could be due to the size . length , finish or combination of all of the selected fixing you have selected. The final part will be ( I'm assuming) you are running CBFEM option to asses the baseplate thickness and stiffness and it is larger than the noted dimension 600 x600. Looking at a smaller baseplate would eliminate this last message. Again none of these are saying what you have inputted is wrong but it's warning / advising you that you do have some options available if you wish to refine the detail.

Hi, Thank you for clarification. Can the program optimise the design or should I do it manually. Thanks

The software will do this for you, Just you look on the right hand side of the screen (where you have your model) and under the Notifications Tab just scroll down and select Optimise for the relevant option(s).
