Residential structural software
Residential structural software
(OP)
Has anyone got a recommendation for structural design software that's set up for residential (stud walls, i-joist floors, truss roofs, lvl and steel beams) framing?
I currently use Enercalc for the beams and joists and ACAD for the drawings. I would like to find a program that reads an ACAD drawing and can analyze the structural members.
Thanks.

It has been developed by truss-joist and mitek software. The license is expensive.

Can you say why you would not recomment RISA for wood? I need to design a wood framed structure and I was planning to use RISA.

Thanks for the help.

The latest version of RISA supports 2001 NDS, multi-ply sections (3-2x4, etc.) and Structural Composite Lumber.

By the way, I have no relationship with StruCalc, but I have been using it since version 1, and obtain every upgrade.
