To allow you to identify walls and hold-downs that fail design without having to scan the full design results report, the program now includes a design summery. It appears in the Design Results report before the shear results for the first design case (just after the loads are output). In addition, the program alerts you with a pop-up message if any walls fail.
Message Box for Wall Failure
If any walls fail for any design case ( rigid diaphragm, flexible diaphragm, wind shear, wind C&C, seismic), the program shows a message box on the screen that gives the levels and he design cases that the failure occurs. It tells you to go to the Design Results or to see the highlighted walls in Plan View (see Feature 75, above)
Wall Failure Summary
For each design case (wind shear loads - rigid diaphragm, wind shear loads - flexible diaphragm, components and cladding wind loads - out-of-plane sheathing, components and cladding wind loads - nail withdrawal, seismic loads - flexible diaphragm, seismic loads - rigid diaphragm) the design summary either indicates that there were no under-capacity walls, or gives a list on each level of the names of the walls that failed.
Hold-down Failure Summary
For each design case (wind shear loads - rigid diaphragm, wind shear loads - flexible diaphragm, , seismic loads - flexible diaphragm, seismic loads - rigid diaphragm) the design summary either indicates that there were no under-capacity hold-downs, or gives a list on each level of the names of the walls that contained under-capacity hold-downs.
Table Menu Item
The Go to Table menu that appears when the Design Results are shown now includes an item for Design Summary.
