Summary

Notifications in PROFIS Engineering are automated checks that continuously validate your inputs and calculation results. These checks ensure your design stays within approved limits defined by technical data, design codes, and product approvals. Notifications guide you away from invalid configurations and help you make corrections early, resulting in a smoother and more reliable design workflow.

Prerequisites

Make sure you:

  • Are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account
  • Have opened the Diaphragm Design module
  • Have entered all required design inputs

If needed, refer to the article How to access the Diaphragm Design module in PROFIS Engineering.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. How Notifications (Scope Checks) Work
    Notifications, also called Scope Checks, run automatically at several points in your workflow:
    • Before calculation
      PROFIS Engineering checks whether your basic design setup is valid. If something outside the allowed range is identified, calculations are blocked and an error message appears explaining with what needs to change.

    • During calculation
      As the software processes your design, Scope Checks typically verify:

      • Safety requirements
      • Performance criteria
      • Code compliance

      If issues appear, you will receive a notification that highlights exactly which input or condition is problematic. 

    • After calculation
      Final results are validated to ensure they fall within approved capacities.
      If not, PROFIS Engineering shows warnings or error prompts in the Results and Notifications panel.

  2. Troubleshooting Notification (Scope Check) Messages

    • Read the full message
      Notification typically explain:
      • What the issue is 
      • Where it occurs
      • How to fix it 

    Follow the suggested steps or use the automatic fix prompt when available.

    • Check typical limits
      Blocked designs often relate to input being outside the permitted range or required information has not been selected. Correcting these inputs usually resolves the notification.

  3. Use warnings proactively
    Warnings do not block the design; they highlight:

    • Basic assumptions of the design
    • Proposed geometry improvements
    • Safer installation recommendations
    • Load transfer recommendations 
    • Conditions close to the limit

    Relevant warnings also appear in the Design Report.

     

  4. Contact Hilti when needed
    If a notification is unclear or you believe your situation should be covered:

    • Save your PROFIS project.
    • Take a screenshot of the notification.
    • Contact your local Hilti technical support.

    They can help interpret the message and recommend design alternatives.

Tip

Check the Results and Notifications panel frequently as you modify geometry, loads, or anchor types. This helps you catch issues early and avoid repeatedly re‑running blocked calculations.
