The program still performs two designs of the structure for the purposes of determining irregularities, however this is now part of a larger design sequence that includes a third run for final design check.
Note that the iteration for irregularities has taken on added significance because of the introduction of deflection analysis. If the program automatically calculates certain hold-down forces using shearwall capacity , these hold-down forces impact the hold-down component of the deflection equation.
