Load factor 2.0 in Profis
Load factor 2.0 was previously defined in the Profis programme. But it seems that load factor 2.0 didn't include in the current website Profis version? The apply load shall enter working load or 2.0 x working load in the Profis?

Dear Andrew Lam,
Thank you for asking Hilti. Profis has default FOS = 3 if the design method ETAG001 FOS3 or EN1992-4 FOS3 was selected. Profis apply the global factor of safety = 3 by simply dividing the capacity by 3, unfactored load can be adopted in the selection above.
