Sizer 11

With WoodWorks^® Sizer, you can size beams, joists, columns and wall studs to meet the 2015 National Design Specification® (NDS® ) for Wood Construction.

• Specify dead, live, snow and wind loads
• Automatically pattern loads
• Generate a materials take-off summary based on your design
• Design for point, line, area, triangular, and trapezoidal loads simultaneously
• Automatically check all load combinations as per IBC 2015, ASCE 7-10
• Analyze the critical load cases for reactions at supports, shear, bending, and deflection
• Generate detailed analysis reports and diagrams
• Generate a list of acceptable sections for dimension lumber, heavy timbers, glulam, LVL, or I-joists
• Use the Materials Database editor to customize the software to your needs

Design Entire Structures – Concept Mode

• Configure and design a complete structure in plan
• Do preliminary designs of structures considering gravity loads using the graphical design and analysis work area
• Perform multi-storey gravity load analysis – sizing all structural members and reporting the reactions at the base
• Export elements from Concept Mode for further analysis into either Beam Mode or Column Mode

Design Beams – Beam Mode

• Design individual wood bending members
• Use Beam Mode to verify the design of critical bending members
• Generate deflection, shear and bending moment diagrams for any beam or joist in your project
• Design single or multi-span beams and joists with or without cantilevers
• Design beams for gravity and uplift loads
• Design beams for gravity and uplift loads
• Specify full, clear or design span
• Design supporting members for bearing
• Design Beams with end and interior notches

Design Columns – Column Mode

• Design individual wood columns, walls, and beam-columns
• Use Column Mode to verify the design of critical compression members
• Design columns and wall studs to resist both axial and lateral loads
• Generate deflection, shear and bending moment diagrams for a single column or wall stud
