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.
