I have a three legged tank. Each leg has one anchor hole. When I try to evaluate one anchor, it get the error that a single anchor construction cannot be used with torsion. This occurs whenever I apply a shear load to the anchor. I have no torsion in the anchor.
How can I check this anchor point that has both tension and shear in it using Profis?
Thanks for your help, Bill Holloway PE, wfh_pe@hotmail.com

I believe that I found the issue. It had to do with the profile not being eccentric. The off center profile created the torsion in the evaluation. If the profile is centered on the baseplate, the error message goes away. If the profile is a channel or angle, chances are it would be installed off center of the baseplate.
