Seismic Load Generation Input - Miscellaneous Changes

Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 10.0 and may not reflect current behavior

1. Seismic Design Category in Site Information Dialog

   The Site Information dialog now shows a non-editable text box giving the Seismic Design Category, from A to F. This updates whenever you change an input that affects the design category – the Site Class, the Risk Category, and the values of Ss and S1.

   In this way, you do not have to wait until a design is done before knowing the design category, which can affect other modelling decisions.

2. Reference to 12.8.2 in Maximum Period Message (Change 147)

   The message about entering a period greater than the maximum now refers to ASCE 7 12.8.2.
