Recommended Shear Wall Design Software

Recommended Shear Wall Design Software

(OP)
My work involves 1-3 story timber structures in California.  I'm looking for a program to use in designing shear walls.  Any suggestions, please?
Thank you,
India

RE: Recommended Shear Wall Design Software

I'm used to doing timber structures by hand but if you must use a program, I would suggest http://www.woodworks-software.com/us/

I have no personal experience with the program but this software is quite "visible" in the industry.

RE: Recommended Shear Wall Design Software

This would be a fairly straight forward calc to write for MathCAD or for a spread sheet.

RE: Recommended Shear Wall Design Software

I have been using software by a company based in California, called LatPro.  They can be found at lateralpro.com and have very good software called LatPro 1.7 which is CBC compliant.  I have used it for years and find it simple to use and very comprehensive.
