Simple Solutions for Lateral Design and Bracing
iLevel by Weyerhaeuser and Structural Soft are working together to offer engineers a powerful lateral design software tool – LateralWorx 2010 – featuring iLevel® Shear Brace prefabricated shear panels. Developed specifically for wood-framed structures, this versatile program for single- and multi-family homes and light commercial buildings offers engineers significant time savings in calculating lateral loads and designing shear walls. The software's unique features include its ability to design with multiple plate heights and diaphragms, difficult shear transfer and plan irregularities.
- Familiar CAD interface to import architectural plans for lateral analysis and design
- Outputs a complete calculation report and exports shear wall layouts and schedules to CAD
- Easily design an iLevel Shear Brace when load resistance is needed in limited wall space
- LateralWorx incorporates iLevel Shear Brace widths 12in., 18in. and 24in; heights 7ft to 20ft
- Design calculations are made based on requirements for wind and seismic loads according to the 2006 IBC and ASCE 7-05
