Hilti Profis Vs. Simpson Anchor Designer

[SteveGregory]

This relates to another current thread about Hilti's Profis program. Has anyone scrutinized Simpson's ACI-318 App D program?

It has a toggle to check concrete breakout strength in tension and/or shear. It also has an option to only consider the front row for shear breakout.

I have not tested this program yet. Anyone else checked it out?

I looked at it briefly and wrote it off. I didn't like it. That was about 8 months to a year ago. They may have made improvements since then.

I use Simpson's.

They have reworked the program. It is better set-up now.
