    • Distributes lateral loads to shear lines according to flexible and rigid diaphragm analyses

    • Distributes lateral loads within shear lines based on shear wall stiffness or capacity

    • Implements limitations and provisions for structural irregularities in ASCE 7

    • Designs full-height wall segments, force-transfer shear walls, and perforated shear walls with wood, gypsum, fiberboard and lumber sheathing

    • Designs shear walls for sheathing, nailing and hold-down connections

    • Optimizes shear wall design by iterating and automatically selecting the most economical sheathing and nailing patterns

    • Designs components & cladding for out-of-plane wind loads

    • Calculates shear wall deflection using “3-term” or “4-term” deflection equations

    • Checks story drift for wind and seismic

    • Determines anchor bolt, collector and force-transfer strap forces

    • Allows additional manual load inputs

    • Import .pdf, .bmp, .wmf and .emf files from AutoCAD as templates for floor layouts
