Anchor Plate Thickness

On Hilti Profis Software if i don't include a profile in the design the calculate plate thickness is disable. Is there a way to calculate plate thickness even if i don't include profile in the parameters?

See attached photo.

Joemel,

In North America, PROFIS Anchor currently assumes that the fixture plate is a rigid element, and does not perform any finite element analysis at this time. This is looking to be addressed in the next major update of PROFIS Anchor, to allow for evaluation of the fixture plate as an added feature for designers. If using the software in Europe or Asia, the profile will be required, as the profile shape will help the software evaluate the distribution of forces around the member itself.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact us.

Regards,

Bryan
