The list of cities shown in the Default Settings from which you select the location for your wind speed q and seismic parameters Sa (T = 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) has been expanded, Previously it included a list of 80 major centers across Canada. Now it includes all the municipalities listed in Appendix C of NBC, a total of 670 cities.
A dropdown list of all provinces and territories has been added to the program, and you first select your province and a list of cities in that province appears, with the capital city appearing by default. You then pick the city closest to your design location.
Shearwalls project files from previous versions will use the city closest to the one in the old list, for example Kitchener-Waterloo will now be Kitchener and Chicoutimi is now Saguenay. The new list of cities also contains the proper spelling of cities in terms of including accents and hyphens.
