Description

MecaWind is a specialized software tool designed to compute wind loads and pressures on the main wind force resisting system (MWFRS) of various structures, including buildings, towers, chimneys, tanks, solar panels, and more. It adheres to the ASCE 7 standard, which is the benchmark for design loads in the United States and is published by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The software features multiple iterations of the ASCE 7 standard, as well as the Florida Building Code (FBC), allowing users to access ASCE 7-05, ASCE 7-10, and the most current ASCE 7-16. Each version represents a distinct update to the standard, with ASCE 7-16 being the latest and including numerous revisions compared to ASCE 7-10. While ASCE 7-05 is part of the software's offerings, it is less commonly used in contemporary applications across various jurisdictions. This comprehensive suite enables engineers to ensure compliance with the latest building codes and standards for wind load assessments.
