Hand-calculate Moment Area of Inertia
(OP)
For a truss, do I include only the bottom and top chords, and ignore any truss webs?

Shear deformation ... seems to significantly increase the actual deformation, maybe as much as 20%.
I just was speaking to Simpson Strong-Tie, and by "accident" they mentioned they are starting a truss design division.
I asked that the "nerd-in-charge" (j/k) give me a call so I could ask him what science and assumptions the software uses.
