How does PROFIS check strength(s) of stiffener plates and their welds?
The calculations output does show utilization percentage. However, it does not detail which design checks are ran for the stiffeners and their welds.

Hi Locke,
Information on the profile and the stiffeners can be found in Section 2.4 of the PROFIS Engineering report. Profile and stiffeners are verified at the level of the steel to concrete connection. The connection design must be verified manually, outside of the software. I have included a snippet of this section for your reference.
Regards,
Ashley
