HOW CAN PROFIS ENGINEERING IMPROVE YOUR DESIGN PROCESSES?

All-in-one solution

Design and calculate fixings including steel to concrete, concrete to concrete, steel to masonry, handrail, post-installed and cast-in façade fastenings, anchor channels, and more, while seamlessly integrating your workflow with multiple structural and BIM/CAD software programs.

Peace of mind

Stay up to date with codes and approvals automatically. As a leading manufacturer of anchors, we leverage our expertise to help ensure your designs comply with the latest regulations.

Time and material savings

Extract the maximum capacity from your anchors with Smart Design. When anchoring to concrete, you get rapid analysis of key inputs to help make baseplate design faster, simpler, and more cost efficient.

Learning and support

Technical training including e-learnings, enabling you to create fast, compliant designs. Plus you get easy in-software access to Engineering Center, Hilti's hub for engineers. Ask questions, watch webinars, download technical documents, and more.

Anchoring to Concrete

Design complex and day-to-day structural baseplate connections

Use preset templates to design concrete fixings including post-installed anchors, baseplates, welds and stiffeners quickly and accurately. With just a click you can analyze baseplates using CBFEM and perform rigidity checks to determine whether to adapt the design or the loads. Optimize fixture points and perform stress and strain checks – PROFIS considers applied loads such as seismic and fatigue and can find economical solutions for avoiding breakout using supplementary reinforcement. Smart baseplate design further simplifies your design process.

Generate a customized report complete with code references, calculations, product information and images.

Smart design for anchoring to concrete

Swap trial and error for automated, optimized anchor calculations

  • Streamline selection of optimal anchor design for steel-to-concrete connections: PROFIS Smart Design feature rapidly analyzes factors such as loads, profile geometry, base material strength and geometry, and last anchor type to help give you the best, most efficient solution by reducing baseplate area or embedment depth
  • Advanced inputs option for your utilization goal (for example, >90%) or project conditions. See all compliant designs in descending baseplate size with one click and streamline final selection with sorting and post- filtering options.

Checkbot plug-in for improved workflows

Simplify processes, improve data mapping and boost collaboration

PROFIS Engineering is integrated with the IDEA Statica Checkbot structural design hub. This gives you simpler, faster and more transparent design and calculation workflows in three steps:

  1. Export thousands of connections at at time from your finite element analysis (FEA) or BIM software to Checkbot. 
  2. Use Checkbot for functions such as status checks of imported connections, 3D visualization of imported members and loads, and management of load combinations. 
  3. Export your data to PROFIS Engineering to design your steel-to-concrete connections.

Concrete to Concrete: PIR

Everything you need to design post-installed rebar applications

Add or extend concrete elements whether you're working with existing rebar or missing starter bars. Solve concrete structural joints and splices, and then verify the shear resistance at the interface between the old and new concrete.

Need to adapt the layout or geometry of your PIR design? PROFIS lets you easily customize the diameter, embedment depth and spacing parameters for existing concrete as well as post-installed.

Concrete to concrete: Overlay

Design for concrete overlay and post-installed shear dowels

With PROFIS you can dimension post-installed shear connectors and verify the interface between the concrete cast at different times. Establish whether your design has edges or is symmetric, and then define different areas of acting shear. You'll know your designs are sound thanks to intuitive 3D graphics that show how stresses vary throughout the connection.

Ready for installation? PROFIS has already saved you time by optimizing the layout.

Anchoring to masonry

Design masonry fixings more productively and accurately

PROFIS Engineering Suite can help you design accurate baseplate connections using masonry-approved anchors. Save time with intuitive built-in templates that combine your on-site data with factors such as allowable tension and shear loads while considering load reductions and geometry requirements.

Select from multiple sizes and types of brick or concrete masonry units, adjust their layout and define whether grout is present. You can even create your own templates to reduce design time on similar projects.

Handrail Fixings

Design complete connections for platforms, balconies and staircases

PROFIS doesn't consider just codes and regulations when designing handrail connections – it determines the loads acting on the handrail depending on how it's being used, wind conditions and more. It then performs a stability check.

Within minutes you'll create complete designs for welds based on thickness, weld type and material. And to reduce steel costs, PROFIS can suggest where to incorporate plastic into the design to allow for thinner rail and post profiles that still satisfy regulations.

Façade and anchor channel design

Simpler, faster design of certified products in line with the latest codes

Simpler, faster design of certified products in line with the latest codes

Design cast-in and post-installed fastenings for façades with certified products according to the latest regulations (including Australian Standards, ACI, and Eurocode). Switch between the two fastening technologies simply in a few clicks. Find the controlling design more quickly with automatic calculation of tolerances, slotted holes and multiple load combinations​.

Designing anchor channels for other applications such as elevators, data centers or tunnels? Achieve faster calculation of anchor channel systems for multiple design regulations including AS5216:2021, ICC-ES AC232, ACI318-11, ACI318-14, ACI318-19, CSA A23.3-14, CSA A23.3-19, EN1992-4, CEN TR17080.
