Structural engineering calculations overhauled
Improved
Key improvements in this work:
- Snow, wind, roof live load, and seismic demands are now calculated from ASCE 7-22 load combinations.
- Member checks (posts, beams, purlins, girts) run against NDS design values and fail the package if a member does not pass — several real failures were caught and corrected during development.
- Foundation sizing is derived from actual structural reactions rather than a fixed convention.
- Lateral resistance now accounts for diaphragm action with the correct wind coefficients.
- A manufactured truss path is available: truss source, hash verification, and a deferred-submittal sheet for the truss RFQ.
- PE-directed overrides are tracked and invalidated if the underlying design changes.
- The calc package is rendered and exportable.
