Why doesn't Hilti Profis have all anchor types? I don't see Kwik 3 bolts, coil anchors, or drop anchors to name a few. Should we expect to see these additional anchor types in future versions?

Christopher,

Currently PROFIS Anchor will include any anchor that has an ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ICC-ES ESR) or testing performed in accordance with ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria (ICC-ES AC308 or ICC-ES AC193) and ACI Acceptane Criteria (ACI 355.4 or ACI 355.2).  The KWIK Bolt 3 should be in the software, you will most likely need to change the concrete base material condition to "uncracked," as it is only approved for those conditions. 

Other anchors such as the Coil Anchors, Drop in Anchors, etc. will not be included as they were evaluated under Allowable Stress Design (ASD), and do not technically meet the requirements of the building code.  The evaluation of these anchors will need to be performed using the Hilti Design Tables outside of the software.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Regards,

Bryan
