WallPanelPro is a wall design and analysis software that integrates with Truss Design & Estimating (Truss D&E) and Truss Modeling.
Capabilities:
- Draw, label and dimension walls
- Metric and Imperial Units
- Design walls quickly
- View single wall panels, complete floors, and complete buildings with 3D Viewer
- Layout wall studs
- Break walls into panels
- Distribution beam at top of wall
- User created beam pockets in wall
- Add wall stud at specific location (include rotation)
- Mirror Interior Walls (floor to floor)
- Set initial stud spacing
- Add door and window openings
- Label studs, plates, headers, etc.
- Summarize wall cost and sections
- Sheer Wall Analysis done with a click of a button
- Diaphragm analysis, per level
- Plan layout of shear forces on walls, per level
- Shear wall analysis report
- Create alternate X-braced bays, Left-Right, Left-Right, until shear resistance exceeds actual building shear forces.
- Align X-braced bays, top level to lowest level
- Option to X-Brace both sides of wall
- Allow user to Set/Change X-braced Bay
- X-Brace hold-down connection design
- Design Type I shear panels (solid wall area) with criteria similar to X-brace design.
- Create Type II shear panels(perforated wall) until total shear panels along design plane exceed design requirements (single level only)
- Type II shear panel hold-down connection design
- Show failed design in red. Also list failed results on 1st page of analysis report.
- Diaphragm and shear wall deflection calculations
- Designs Studs + Connections, Bottom and top plates, Headers + Connections, and Bridging: Straps +Blocking Connection
- Design up to a 6 story building
- Mirror openings from one level to level
