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.
