Precast walls
(OP)
what software would you recommend for designing precast walls, insulated composite and also just plain walls?
Thanks

RE: Precast walls
I guess I am looking to streamline operations. With different size walls, loads, etc, it has to be easier to do with a program than by hand. P-delta effects, pre-stressing, etc all seem to be tedious, and need to be efficient. Even when I was designing tilt-up, we used software to be efficient. Computers are a tool, so I need to take advantage.
DaveAtkins - I am the engineer for the precaster, just that they are becoming more sophisticated and not just doing cladding and stairs anymore. For load bearing panels, there cannot be tables due to loads, etc.
Thanks both for your input, but I am just wanting to see what programs people use.

Any way, I am all for computers for iterative work but if you are doing a lot of this I would expect that it would be much quicker to do by hand once you get used to it.
Calculate moment and axial capacities for typical ranges of panel thicknesses and reinforcement.
