Anchoring to Concrete
Design complex and day-to-day structural baseplate connections
Use preset templates to design concrete fixings including post-installed and cast-in-place 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.
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.
Façade and anchor channel design
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 ACI, 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 ICC-ES AC232, ACI318-11, ACI318-14, ACI318-19, CSA A23.3-14, CSA A23.3-19, EN1992-4, AS5216:2021, CEN TR17080.

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