does hilti profis apply this factor, ap=2.5, to design seismic loads? similar to how hilti applies overstrength factor?

Hi Michelle,

PROFIS Engineering does not account for the component amplification factor. This would have to be applied manually by the Engineer or Record or accounted for in another way.
