Design Office 8: NDS® 2005, IBC 2006 and ASCE7-05
  

 

WoodWorks® consists of three modules available separately or packaged in a cost saving Design Office suite:

Sizer
Size beams, joists, columns and wall studs, one at a time or in a system, under various load conditions

 

Shearwalls
Automatically generates seismic and / or wind loads following either ASCE7-05 or UBC 97, distributes them to shearlines based on flexible and rigid diaphragm analysis, and designs wood perforated (no hold-downs at openings) or segmented shearwalls to resist them

 

Connections
Design new connections using bolts, nails or shear plates, or check the capacity of existing connections

Based on the American Wood Council's National Design Specification® (NDS®) for Wood Construction
