3D Lateral Analysis for Wood?
3D Lateral Analysis for Wood?
(OP)
Is there a program (similar to Ram Structural System) that will aid in the design of wood shear walls?
I'm looking for a program where I can build a 3D model of the building (with window/door openings in the walls), apply the lateral loads, and get the most efficient shear wall layout.
Any tips?

If you are interested, there should be a number of Movies and Tutorials on our website (www.risatech.com). Or, you can always download a Demo version of the program and try it out for yourself. If you have trouble finding any of that stuff, just send an e-mail to the info@risatech.com account. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

It can analyze perforated shear walls as well.
