A userscript for the Hilti PROFIS Engineering web app. It adds a Result Help button to the anchor design page that opens a panel of design changes to consider for each anchor failure mode in tension and shear, with a short explanation of each on hover.

Limitations and assumptions

  • The panel is a fixed checklist. It does not read or change values in your design.
  • It runs only on profisengineering.hilti.com design pages.

These calculators are aids, not a substitute for engineering judgment. Check results independently and against the governing code edition before relying on them.
