This software performs all the wind load computations in ASCE 7-98, 02 or 05, Section 6. The software allows the user to “build” structures within the system (buildings, signs, chimneys, tanks, and other structures). It provides basic wind speeds from a built-in version of the wind speed map or allows the user to enter a wind speed. It provides for input of topographic features. It allows the user to have different exposures for different wind directions. It has numerous specialty calculators. Major changes to the standard include:
Open structures with monosloped, gabled and pitched roofs
Sign design revisions.
