Sizer 2020

The Canadian edition of the WoodWorks® Sizer program has been updated to comply with the 2020 National Building Code of Canada. The changes include serviceability load combination factors from Table 4.1.3.4, and the addition of a user-specified sustained live load contribution to CLT creep deflection (4.2.3.4.(5)). The live loads for storage and fluids previously called “Sustained live” have been renamed “Live storage”. 

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

      • Designs light-frame floor systems using Sizer in Autodesk Revit® through MWF Pro Wood extension.

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!
