Can the Profis software be used for resin anchor fixings to brickwork cavity walls?

Thank you for your question regarding the masonry module in Profis Engineering. The code the software follows currently covers solid wall construction only not cavity.

Thanks for the quick response. So when designing fixings to the outer brickwork leaf of a cavity brick wall then the technical data pdf file on the resin anchor product info should be used for permissible pull out and shear loads?

Yes, the data can be used for the fixing in the outer skin of masonry so I would model this as the single stretcher bond for example in the software.
