I want to use Agave in a Russian Imperial Stout and all my research shows that the secondary is the best place to add it in order to retain the most flavor and aroma. I understand it will kick off fermentation again so I'm struggling at how to build it into Beer Smith so my estimated final gravity will be as close as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Calculating Final Gravity with Agave ???

Agave syrup is basically fully fermentable. Create a grain profile for it as "sugar" with 100% potential (1.046).
You can check the box that says "add After Boil." BeerSmith will add the Agave contribution to the pre-boil gravity and calculate the abv from it.
