Torquing Anchors and Pretension of Anchors

Torquing Anchors and Pretension of Anchors

The Profis software allows for a torquing method to be selected with "Manual Torque Wrench" or "Adaptive Torque (AT) System)." I originally chose HY-200 epoxy for my anchor, but when I selected the AT System the software changed the anchor to Kwik Bolt TZ2. Why did it do that?

Also, is there a way to input pretension to anchors based on installation torque, or is that not a needed design consideration when evaluating the anchors (i.e. does ACI 318 only require anchors to be evaluated based on external loads and not pretension?)
