The default database that comes with the program contains the following hold-down connectors from the Simpson C-C-CAN2022 Wood Construction Connectors Catalog.
HDU Series
These these hold-downs consist of brackets connected to the studs by 1/4" diameter, 2-1/2" SDS Heavy-Duty screws. They are pre-deflected during manufacturing to minimize deflection due to bracket stretching. The database contains HDU2, HDU4, HDU5, HDU8, HDU11, and HDU14 models, with allowable tension loads ranging from 2900lb to 20,850 lb (12.9 - 92.8 kN). Anchor bolts range from 5/8" to 1" diameter and brackets are constructed with 14 - 7 ga steel.
DTT Series
These are light-duty tension ties fastened with 1-1/2" or 2-1/2" heavy-duty SDS screws. The 1-1/2" screws can be attached to a single end stud. Allowable tension loads range from 2520 lb to 3060 lb (11.2 - 13.6 kN). Anchor bolt diameter is 3/8" and brackets are constructed with 14 ga steel.
