Module Description

Wind Analysis completely automates ASCE’s “Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures” for Wind Loads.

The software follows the ASCE code “to the letter” -each figure and table is coded into the program so closely that the ASCE publication can be used as an operator’s manual for the program*.

Reports in DOC, XLS, and PDF format.

Technical Specifications

  • Built on ASCE 7‑16 and 7‑10, delivering modern, code‑aligned wind load calculations for virtually any structure.
  • Automatically adjusts for Mean Sea Level, Importance Factor, topography, and Exposure Category, removing manual guesswork.
  • Computes external and internal pressure coefficients, plus gust factors — including those required for flexible structures.
  • Integrates pressures over the frontal area to produce accurate forces, shears, and overturning moments for real‑world geometry.
  • Includes updated Chapter 30 Part 1 & Part 2 tables for Components & Cladding, plus new Risk Category IV wind maps.
  • Provides new zone‑based pressure coefficients (1′, 2e, 2n, 2r, 3e, 3r) for gable and hip roofs, aligned with ASCE 7‑16.
  • Features Hawaiian Island wind maps, expanding coverage for high‑wind regions.
  • Wizard‑style interface guides.
  • Outputs directly to Word, Excel, and PDF, with computations shown line‑by‑line.
  • Uses US customary units with a clean, engineer‑friendly workflow focused on speed and accuracy.
