I'm interested in modeling software primarily for wood framed structures (residential, multi-family). Does anyone have any recommendations? Please include a website if available.

Thanks,
Drew
 
The best wood design software that I've used so far is:


Risa is the best one for general analysis. It has a module for designing timber members.

Woodworks is the best one for the design of heavy timber structures and any one-at-a-time members.

Keymark is the best one for performing the design of light frame wood structures. It allows an almost ridiculous level of detail in design.
