Summary

The load combination panel allows you to create, edit, import, or delete load combinations so that PROFIS Engineering can evaluate anchor performance under all required loading scenarios. Managing load combinations ensures that your design reflects the actual loading conditions of the project and helps you quickly identify the governing combination for accurate and efficient anchor design.

Prerequisites

Make sure you:

  • Are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account
  • Have opened the Anchoring to Masonry module

If needed, refer to the article How to access the Anchoring to Masonry module in PROFIS Engineering.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the Load Combination panel
    In your Anchoring to Masonry design workspace, scroll to the Load Combination panel at the bottom of the screen.
    Here you will see a table listing each load combination (varies depending on the application), including:
    • Load type
    • Tension, shear or moment
    • Strength utilization

  1. Edit existing combinations
    Click on the static or seismic design icon to switch the Load type.

    Click inside any cell for forces/moment to type new values.
    Your changes automatically update in the table and the drilling length is calculated.

    Note: You can also edit the loads using the 3D view of the design.

  2. Create a new load combination
    Click Add load combination.
    This creates a blank row where you can enter your loads.
    Enter load details and click ✓ (apply) or ✖ (cancel) icons to confirm or discard your input, respectively.

    To quickly identify the governing combination, click Update to decisive. This option becomes available only when new load combination is added.

    Select the radio button to switch the active load combination.

  1. Import factored loads from a spreadsheet
    Click Import load combinations.

    A pop‑up will appear with a paste field.
    Steps to import:

    1. Copy your factored load table from Excel or another source.
    2. Paste it into the pop‑up window.

    3. Click Apply.

      The system automatically fills in the load combinations based on your pasted data.

  1. Delete a combination
    Click the trash bin icon on the right-hand side of any load combination row.
    Deleted combinations cannot be recovered, so ensure that you remove only those no longer needed.

Tip

If the Load Combination panel is not visible, go to the Loads / Calculation type tab on the left-hand side and enable Show load inputs.
