Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.3 and may not reflect current behavior.
The rightmost 4 headers in the seismic parameters table in the log file are offset so they appear above the values corresponding to the parameter next t them, for example, Cs appears above the numbers for Csmin.
The Unfactored generated shear load and Vertical elements required items in the legend in Plan View that appears on load generation are now coloured blue like the rest of the legend, not orange.
The standard wall name shown on the walls in plan view and in elevation view, which was introduced in version 10, is now shown only once on a shearline, as all shearwalls on a shearline must have the same materials. If lines have both shearwalls and non-shearwalls, then standard wall names can be shown more than once.
The text in Elevation view that says a shearwall is perforated and gives the perforated factor sometimes obscured the hold-down force output, particularly for short walls. This text has been moved downwards to be below the hold-down force output.
When a shearline goes from the interior to the exterior of the structure, the program output a line of design results for walls that are on the interior of the structure and are not loaded. Those lines would show zero nail withdrawal force but non-zero sheathing force. These lines have been removed.
When a non-shearwall failed due to C&C design, it was not highlighted in red as a failed wall in Plan View. This has been corrected.
The program showed "50 ft above crest" and "50 ft below crest" for the output of the relation of the building to an escarpment. This has been changed to "Upwind of crest" and "Downwind of crest" to conform to the terminology of ASCE 7 26.8.1.
The shear design legend has been clarified as follows:
