Recommended sofware for wind loading/lateral force design
(OP)
I am starting my own consulting business and will be addressing civil and structural issues in the municipal, commercial and residential markets. I am looking for suggestions on structural software and resources. My degree is in structural design but I have been mostly practicing in water and wastewater systems for the last 12 years. I would appreciate suggestions for resources and software that will help get me up to speed with current codes and methods.

Same for design - I'd cruise around the steel and concrete, etc. organizations (ACI, AISC, etc.) for their publications.
If you are attempting to "get familiar" with structural design, working with an experienced engineer is best.
As Ron suggests above, relying on software is the worst possible road you can take.
