Dewalt Design Assist Software

[Maqsood Faruqi]

I have been using Hilti Profis but many of our clients prefer to use Powers. Therefore, I downloaded DDA software which is available free of charge. Following is the link

Current I am designing masonry adhesive anchor AC 100 + Gold but this software gives only three options for substrate either NORMALWEIGHT, SAND LIGHTWEIGHT OR ALL LIGHTWEIGHT. I can not find an option for brick/masonry. Can someone help. If I choose ALL LIGHTWEIGHT with f'c =1500 psi, will it be considered MASONRY?

If those are the only options then the software won't do the work for you.

Look at the catalog:

It might also be useful to read the ICC report ESR-4105.
