Hi. I have encountered a situation where the anchor plate is in front of the concrete and it has to take a shear load parallel to the anchor channel. Due to concrete tolerance, the stand-off can be up to 50mm. But when I put a stand-off in the software (PROFIS), it doesn't allow this and doesn't calculate.
How to solve this problem in software? What material can I use as a stand-off/levelling layer?
