Canadian Edition

New version 2020 (v.11) now available! Conforms to CSA O86-19 and NBC 2015

WoodWorks^® programs are now available separately:

	Sizer 2020 With WoodWorks® Sizer, size beams, joists, columns, wall studs and panels constructed from lumber, timber, glulam, structural composite lumber (LSL, LVL, PSL), steel (W and HSS), wood I-joists and CLT. Specify dead, live, snow, wind, seismic, and other load types distributed as point, line, area, triangular and trapezoidal loads for up to 100 loads per member Analyzes all load combinations as per the National Building Code of Canada (NBC), including pattern loading and concentrated live loads Designs for all critical load combinations for shear, bending, deflection, vibration, and bearing as per the CSA O86 Standard Optimizes structural member sizes using material database and generates a material list for design Includes editable database to add or modify custom wood materials Design Structures – Concept Mode Configure and design wood structures up to 6 storeys for gravity loads Structural members are transferable to the Beam or Column Mode for detailed analysis Design Structural Members – Beam and Column Mode Designs structural members including single or multi-span, cantilevered, and inclined beams and joists, wall studs, columns, beam-columns and CLT panels Designs W-shaped steel beams and HSS steel columns using CSA S16 Generates shear, bending moment and deflection diagrams Designs for bearing, notches, and Simpson Strong-Tie beam and joist hangers Designs for fire resistance And much more!

	Shearwalls 2020 WoodWorks^® Shearwalls, design light wood frame structures up to 6 storeys. At the push of a button, wind and seismic loads are generated, forces are distributed, and shearwalls are designed. Automatically generates wind loads as per NBC Static Procedure or Low Buildings Procedure Automatically generates seismic loads following the NBC Equivalent Static Force Procedure Distributes lateral loads to shear lines according to flexible and rigid diaphragm analyses Distributes lateral loads within shear lines based on shearwall stiffness or capacity Designs shearwalls with or without hold-downs Optimizes shearwall design by iterating and automatically selecting the most economical sheathing (plywood, OSB or gypsum) and nailing patterns Includes designs of shearwall sheathing and nailing for out-of-plane wind loads Calculates shearwall deflection using “3-term” or “4-term” deflection equations Checks storey drift for wind and seismic as per NBC requirements Automatically detects seismic irregularities and implements corresponding NBC provisions Determines anchor bolt and drag-strut forces Allows additional manual load inputs for shearwall design Import .pdf, .bmp, .wmf and .emf files from AutoCAD as templates for floor layouts Detailed and transparent reporting of results, including: One-page design summary of all critical design results and alerts Shearwall materials summary table (for developing a shearwall schedule) Shearwall force versus resistance tables Shearwall deflection and wind and seismic storey drift tables Hold-down design tables Sheathing and nail withdrawal design table for wind pressure Drag-strut force tables Tabulated results for wind and seismic load generations and torsional analysis And much more! Did you know? Modelling a structure is quick and easy: start from a blank slate or use a pdf or wmf file as a template. See our video showing how typical buildings can be modeled in minutes!

	Connections 2020 With WoodWorks® Connections, you can design connections consisting of nails, lag screws, wood screws, bolts, shear plates, heavy steel plates, and more. The results are displayed as fully dimensioned CAD quality drawings. Model single-shear or double-shear wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel and wood-to-concrete connections with multiple configurations Iterates through fastener database for design optimization and produces a material list for fastener options Generates a detailed and transparent display of connection analysis and design results Produces fully dimensioned drawings with some drawings exportable as .dxf files for use in AutoCAD Includes editable database to add or modify custom wood materials Yearly Subscription Fee: $50 Subscription benefits Free Technical Support on the latest version of the software Automatically receive updates/new versions Licensing details Concurrent licensing: floating license that can be used on any number of computers.
